Hello...
I know you have seen this quilt for "what seems like forever", but I am making progress. I am now doing a little hand-quilting at this point. I just don't feel like trying to turn circles and small areas with such a large quilt.I hope to show the finished quilt early next week. Right about now, I would love to own a long-arm machine...I thought about it when I bought my new sewing machine last year; but at the time didn't feel I had the room. I have decided that I will make the room in the near future. It just makes quilting large quilts so much easier!

MACHINE QUILTING ~ VINTAGE ROUGE 2012

 The picture below is of the tree...not decorated yet, but will be by week's end. I'll post a pic of the finished tree. I bought this tree last year from Balsam Hill. I wanted something a little different than the usual green tree. This is called the Mount Washington tree...it came already lit, with its' own bag and white gloves for handling. I painted up an old wash tub, set the base inside and covered the inside with a blanket.

I have a busy rest of the week planned...how about you??
Wishing you a happy day!
