Lucky Me

Annie over at Annie's Quilt Orts recently had a giveaway to celebrate having 100 followers. She decided to pick a 13th name for a second winner - guess who was Lucky 13. Whoo Hoo!

I follow Tonya's blog also and have followed along as she was writing her book and creating some of the quilts in the book. I have really wanted this book.



So do you think I should make this quilt first...

Or should I start simple with this little quilt...


Oh I'm going to have fun with this book. Thank you Annie!!

I finished the panel. This is the back: tension looks good, stitches look even (I am SO glad I got the stitch regulator), and it doesn't look like I quilted rows (which I was really worried about).

The hardest part was the last 4 inches of the quilt.

I'm pleased with the results, but I still need to take more baby steps.

Oh....those words are going to be fun!!!

The quilting looks wonderful. It definitely doesn't look like it was done in rows. I am sure the stitch regulator makes a big difference.

JOY with words, what could be better? Glad the book arrived safely and I look forward to seeing your letters appear :)

Great work on your sample stitching! You're getting the hang of it quite well already I think :)
