its finally done - the little capsule/pram cover that I made for Lucy is finished ! and I think its sooo cute:)
I know exactly what took me so long to get this little sweetie finished - the quilting ! it seems that every time I think of quilting I panic ! but you know what - I loved doing the quilting on this little one and it wasn't hard at all.
I've discovered I love doing straight line quilting so I've just got to remember that !
When I think back to a couple of minis I made last year I can't believe I hand quilted this quilt...
I was worried I'd mess it up if I did straight line quilting - and now I think how great it would have looked with some straight line quilting like this one...
I'm so glad I did straight line quilting on that one - I think it really makes the quilt !
so now I really want to try free motion quilting and I definitely panic whenever I think of it but I don't want to straight line quilt every quilt I make !! I just need to remember that I CAN do it and the more I practice the better I'll be :)
I think for my February project for a lovely year of finishes I might have to find something that needs quilting so I can practice fmq :)
I was hoping to post a photo of Lucy in her capsule with the new cover but alas her mother has been a bit busy on the farm so hopefully I'll get a photo soon !
I'm linking up to a lovely year of finishes - the linky party closes tomorrow !
