Thimbleberries Quilt

It's finished! Wooo-hooo! I took this photo outside, and then I was wondering if I could get a photo that shows the quilting texture a little bit better when Ms. Spike came over to investigate and walked all over it with muddy paws. So I guess this photo will have to do. Now, did you want to see a photo of a dead cat?! Okay, just kidding! No cats were harmed in the making of today's blog post.

I'm posting early today because I have my Thimbleberries Club meeting tonight and will likely be home late. Today's my "Friday" since I have the next couple days off work--I'll go back next Tuesday. It's not looking good for getting my Valentine's quilt done on time, though! I wish I could just load it onto the longarm and finish it up real fast, but I got up this morning and looked around the house and it's just as I thought--the quilting fairies didn't deliver a longarm last night. I haven't decided whether to quilt it next anyway or go on to some other projects I have planned, but I suspect my short quilting attention deficit disorder will tell me to move on. I'm soooooo ready for spring, and I have several projects in mind as well as doing some spring decorating around the house while I'm off work. Hopefully I'll have some photos to share in the coming days, although I don't think I'll have much time for nude photography, so you'll have to wait on any more self-portraits. I know you're disappointed, but you'll just have to deal with it!
