What am I going to do with you, young lady? While I did expect you to put some blood, sweat and tears into my quilt, I did not mean it literally. Although that is a pretty good group to dance around the house to... Promise me you will take it easy and heal that little pinky up. You need it to balance tea cups, pinky-swear, beckon waiters and sample cake batter. I think I want to be surprised, so no peeks at the block for me. If you want to post a picture in an album I promise not to look. I put the binding on your quilt today but I want to go back and do a bit more quilting in a few spots. Thank goodness my machine has behaved well with this project. I used 40 weight Sulky thread for the first time and a new #10 needle (thank you QB friends for those tips) and there was no skipped stitches. Cleraning and oiling the machine first probably helped, too!
