Bloomz Quilt

I love having a lazy Saturday! I think we underestimate the value of "stopping and smelling the roses" in the crazy-busy lives that we lead nowadays. I don't think that I've ever regretted chosing to snuggle with my hubby instead of sweeping the floor. Amazingly enough...the floor waited :)So what have I been up to quilting-wise? Well, I finished quilting and delivering my Bloomz quilt to one of our nurses. I designed this quilt as a mystery quilt (I'll add the link to that at the end of the post), but the colors I used in my sample were soooo Pam.


She's a fun spirit and I knew that this one would be perfect for her. The quilting machine I rented decided to go kaput towards the end, so I had to finish quilting it on my home machine...but that's ok...it worked out just fine. I'm still learning and I did have trouble controlling the quilting machine, so my stitching isn't as good as I would have liked. I do like the overall effect though and the imperfections sure don't take away from the love that went into the quilt :) All of the quilting was done free hand. Here are some pictures:
