Ta Da!!!!!!

I finished Mr. Chillingsworth!!  I mean completely finished.  It is quilted, thank you Jacque.  The binding is completed.  I have even wrapped the gift as it is a Christmas gift for my son.  Not that anyone will believe this but I actually finished it almost two weeks ago but I just kept forgetting to update my post.

I love the spider web quilting done by Jacque (you can see it in the second photo).  She does a fantastic job on all my quilts.

Excuses, excuses, excuses...

It seems I've always got an excuse as to why I haven't completed a quilt or a knitting project.  I NEVER miss cleaning something or putting something away.   I have friends who tease me and say my house is like the house of the guy from, "Sleeping with the Enemy."  I need to try to make myself stop with the compulsive cleaning and put some of that energy toward the fun things that I love to do.

Having said that I am going to make my goal for September a small one.  My goal for September is to finish the binding on this wall hanging for my son, Michael.

 

I was having problems with my flying geese so I only put them on one side of the panel.  I have already completed that part and I have already had the piece quilted.  Miss Jacque quilted spider webs into the piece and they look fantastic.  I will be doing the binding in a plain, solid black.








I did start another item while I was in Idaho visiting my brother and his wife, Abby.  I made a project bag which only needs to be bound and it too will be completed.  And then when I got back I attended a, "Sew-in" with friends and I completed an apron made out of old blue jeans.  The apron is actually complete if you can believe it.
