What A Day For A Daydream


 Daydream. Isn't the binding adorable?


I wasn't sure if I would ever finish this quilt. Last week was a no-sew zone at Happy Little Cottage due to various and sundry sewing machine malfunctions. It is amazing that a sewing machine can make a grown woman cry.


But this finished quilt makes me very happy!

I finally adjusted the good old Singer and was able to finish. I was convinced that I wanted to learn to stipple, but I think I may have gotten over that desire after dropping off my aunt's sewing machine at the repair shop AND discovering Red Pepper Quilts. Seriously, how awesome are her quilts. I love the simplicity of the straight quilting and how it really lets the fabric and patchwork shine!

    Beautiful quilt, Debbie, I love the colours and the design. I find sewing machines have had that effect on me too - and they always seem to go wrong just when you need them most! I'm glad you fixed yours and finished this gorgeous quilt!

    Debbie, that is a gorgeous quilt! I love how it turned out and super sorry for the frustrations you had with the machine. What a stinker huh?!

    GORGEOUS, and you should be so proud of yourself! Stippling looks very, very intimidating to me, too!

    Sewing machines have made me do more than cry! ((WINK!))

    Wow Debbie, this is just beautiful. I bet it feels wonderful to have it finished and you have to be wondering what took you so long. I love it all scrunchy and laundered perfect for cuddling with a cup of tea. Now all we need is fall weather!
