It's a Gift!

I'll leave it on my co-worker's desk before she comes in. Hopefully she's in tomorrow to get it! (it's for her daughter).

A Christmas present finish!

Well, close. The binding is done and now I just need to make a label. :-). I'm so happy that I finished the binding on it. I should get the label made tonight and will take a pic then!

Pink Baby Quilt Finished!

Picture's not the greatest, but it's finished. Except for the label, lol. I just had to call and check the spelling of the name. Done before the baby shower for a change, though not before the baby's birth. The baby was a preemie and is still in the hospital. They are anticipating she'll go home beginning of November. Our church is hosting a baby shower on the 22nd for the mom. The family had just joined our church when the mom began having complications. The baby was delivered a few weeks later. I machine stitched the binding, but I definitely need practice. I followed the directions that came in a magazine this month - I think the AQS magazine.

1st finish!

For those peeps in the know, this is "the quilt" that generated my big discussion/comment seeking. It is the one I worked on at retreat with the pinks & greens that everyone loved the colors on . I told the mom about it on Sunday and checked to make sure I was spelling the name correctly on the label. I let her know that I would drop it off for tonight since I've got class on Wed and am not at church.

I asked my friend J check to make sure the mom got it, so J called and checked for me (I don't have a number). J told me she loved it and wants to hang it up in the living room!!!! I told J to let her know I would add a hanging sleeve after pictures are taken.

So my question is, what do I need to do to make a hanging sleeve on an already completed baby quilt?

Okay, okay, what you all are waiting for - the details!

Quilting - done in a cream thread, "in the ditch" around the flowers and meandered in the center/cream border.
Backing - real pretty soft pink flower print (with some green/yellow) on a cream. I'm in love with this print. I've used it at least 3 times now.

Pics are below. Sorry for the poor quality - I realized in the car on the way to drop it off that I hadn't taken pictures. If she wants me to add the hanging sleeve, I'll get better ones then.
