Swanky is finally done!
.
A little lap quilt for the OnlyChild's best friend. It's not too late for a Christmas present - she's been away for a week and just returned last night.
.
.
I got up this morning and headed straight to the sewing machine. Bernice was waiting, all threaded and ready to go.
.
I quilted my little heart out. Sewed on binding. Hand stitched until my fingers bled.
.
.
And it's ready to be wrapped and delivered tomorrow.
.
That's good news.
.
But I'm still feeling grumbly and miserable.
.
Now back to that pile of essays...

Look at you! It's beautiful, she's gonna love it!
I just got to the bottom of a very stacked table... no sewing....
oh, well...
I'm happy for your timely finish!
Hi Grumpy. The quilt is beautiful. Congrats on finishing it. I wish it was mine. Sitting here freezing.
That quilt is beautiful and I hope the gal appreciates it! (I also hope your daughter appreciates the amount of time and effort that goes into such a special gift.) Are you feeling any better? I may have pneumonia....had to go for an x-ray, but the prescription cough med and inhaler he prescribed are already making me feel a tiny bit better, so I'm hoping the x-ray says no pneumonia!!!
I love it Rachel.....lucky girl.
Very nice!! She'll love it!!
Hope you get over the grumpy's!
tee hee I was right there too!
I love the colors in that quilt! How do you ever have time to do your quilting, teach, go to school, be a mom and wife and all the other things you do??? Is it really hand-stitched?
Just a few days until 2010. It is going to be a good year!

Way to go Rachel!I sure your daughter's friend will cherish it. I love Swanky, I made a baby quilt this summer with both Amy Butler and Swanky. Came out real cute too.
it looks lovely! Good job, now hopefully you'll be able to get through a whole stack of those papers and the grumpies will fade away!
That is one cute quilt. I love that fabric. It just says happy! I'm sure your daughters friend will love it. What girl wouldn't?
