Roll the credits, please ...!

It is DONE!
My first adventure into the world of quilting and getting stabbed with an itty bitty needle while hand-quilting is officially OVER. Mission Accomplished!

I'll post pics as soon as I can find that thingie which connect the camera to the computer (it has gone walkabout, the slacker).

The binding was a dream to sew on and I'm so pleased to have learnt the "secret" to good mitred corners (patience and some simple precision sewing).The little monkey, however, isn't as enamoured of her new quilt as mommy is. She says it's "not soft"!!!!!! She has promised to like it "tomorrow," though, so we'll see. LOL!Oh, and I've begun the Japanese cranes quilt for the in-laws. (She's NUTS, I hear you say ... hahahhaha!)

Looks SO well done! LOVE it especially all the personalised embroideries- the butterflies, the lovely message to your princess!

Thanks, Adey! The princess/monkey still says the quilt is "not soft," but has agreed to play with it and use it for her army of "babies" (soft toys).

Awww, you're so sweet, Jali! :-)) I'm happy to report that the little monkey LOVES her quilt now and has requested little quilts for her "babies" (ie. soft toys). Hahahaha!
