    Default 15 year WIP Done!

    15 years ago I decided I wanted to make a quilt. Pieced the top together and began hand quilting it. And there it sat, half finished for 15 years. I came across it a short time ago, unsewed all the hand quilting, then quilted my first pantograph using my new (to me) Handiquilter. There are multiple mistakes, but it is complete.

    Beautiful quilt. You have inspired me to think that I may get some of my old WIP done.

    It's lovely! When I look at fabrics I bought 15 years ago they are certainly not as beautiful as yours.

    Good for you I'm doing the same thing...or, at least I'm trying. How do you like your new machine?

    That is just so pretty! I love the 3-d ribbon effect and the colors.
