- - Glory, glory hallelujah, I can see the pins on the CW quilt! (https://www.quiltingboard.com/pictures-f5/glory-glory-hallelujah-i-can-see-pins-cw-quilt-t138359.html)

mine eyes have seen the edges of the binding of the quilt,
i have worked and worked for hours and the starch on the wilt.
i have batted, pinned and stenciled 'till my table's on the tilt-
that quilt will soon be done!

glory, glory hallelujah,
glory, glory hallelujah,
glory, glory hallelujah,
my quilt is almost done!

the "inspectors" sit and watch me waiting 'till my back is turned.
they climb up and sit upon on it like it's privilege they've earned,
i pick off hairs and smooth things, and my patience's nearly burned--
the quilt is almost done!

(chorus)

i've read books by fons and porter, thimbleberries and bonesteel,
i have books on scrappy , thirties, forties, and ezekiel's wheel;
studied books on how to bind it, tie it, birth it, and it's real:
that quilt is nearly done!

(chorus)

i've debated batting in my head, and chosen color hues,
i have stashed and bashed and trashed my cloth until i have the blues,
i have envied quilts of beauty, 'broidered, even "painted shoes"-
but mine is almost done!

(chorus)

i am sitting in my easy chair, with needle, hoop and thread.
my coffee, cold beside me, and my sandwich, now dry bread;
the final knot is buried, and in triumph, raise my head-
my quilt is finally done!!

glory, glory, hallelujah,
did it with my quilter's ruler,
glory, glory hallelujah….

er,,,it is too soon to start the next one????

Surpisingly enough C, I will actually be glad to see this one go back to Meg. What I really look forward to is her reaction to it. I hope she loves it. I poured my heart and soul into this quilt and it really pushed me to do techniques I'd only dabbled in previously (stencils and ruler work). And it totally reinforced techniques I have alread imprinted (feather work). This quilt gave me a ton of confidence, that I really CAN do it!

You really DID DO IT!! It's absolutely gorgeous quilting. Congratulations and well done!!

You do beautiful work. Wish you were closer so I could hire you.

OMG that is BEAUTIFUL, the colors are awesome, and you have done a fabulous job.

i hope, someday, to make something worthy of such gorgeous handwork as i see on the board--and on quilts like this one. lovely!

Looks super to me!!!

Absolutely beautiful, very professional :thumbup: :thumbup:
