A week of finishes - Day 4 ....

It's been a week long of finishes so of course I am going to link up to Finish it up Friday over at Crazy Mom Quilts!

So previous finishes this week include:
 
 
a cute little quilt for Project Linus, click here

 
an ATC for a swap, click here

 
and a Harry Potter cushion, click here to see more and a very cute Dobby wallhanging!

The biggest finish however was the longarming of my first customer quilt!  What a range of emotions that provoked - before I started I was excited but really apprehensive, then I was nervous, then I thought things were good, then I had a problem with my machine and then I just wanted the quilt finished and off the frame!!  It certainly was a learning curve both emotionally and technically.  I'm not returning it to the customer until next week but I hope she will be pleased.  She asked for stippling around the applique and then a sunflower design on the pieced border.
 
 
 



 
 


Looking forward to visiting some others in the linky party and see their finishes this week. x

  6. That is a big week. Well done on finishing your first customer quilt - doing something for money is much more nerve-wracking, I find, but your quilting looks spot on. I love your little wintery trading card too.
