The last few days I have been busy working on a little secret project. I know, another one, sorry. This one came about sort of last minute so it was one of those peddle to the metal, get it done rather snappy type of projects :) So Saturday was cutting. I love the beautiful tones of Angela Walter's newest line Drift. They are so soothing to work with!
Monday and Tuesday was piecing. The top came together quick and it was a lot of fun to piece. Then it was time to make a quilt back from this awesome oval element cappuccino print. I love me a good polka-dot!!
And yesterday was quilting day. I know I am so spoiled to have a long arm available for my use two doors away. And I have to say, I love it!!! It especially come in handy for these super quick projects. I quilted a combination of wavy lines with some good old swirls. This is the first time I have tried that and I really liked the way it turned out ;)
Then it was a quick machine binding and this little Secret Drift project was in the mail by the end of the day. Yippee!! I promise to show more in a little bit :)
Getting this project in the mail yesterday was so very important because today starts Girls Weekend Out!!! I get to spend the entire weekend relaxing with Barbara and my Sister-In-Laws!!! We were given use of a condo in Park City so it's no kids and just us girls having a great time for 3 1/2 whole days!!! Ya, I am totally excited!!! (can you tell by all the exclamation points :) Nothing but Rest and Relaxation, bring it on!!!
Have a Happy Quilting (or relaxing) Day!!
I love the look of the quilting. Can't wait to see the finished project!
