| so happy to get this one on the longarm...started back in 2011 after making and loving the ms raffle quilt that i made that year ~ with some of my absolute favorite fabrics ...more here |
 |
| i cut it out but my sister did the piecing for me a while ago in exchange for some longarming [ it is a very good deal] and then it sat patiently waiting to be quilted xo easy peasy zigzag tutorial here from creative chicks |
 |
| i pieced the back with some yummy leftovers and some flannel [my favorite] machine quilted it with hall of mirrors from apricot moon designs and decided on a very simple binding |
 |
| i love how an improv pieced back finishes up and all out of necessity too cuz i ran out of flannel xo |
 |
| i added my special ticker tapes...this one deserved a "this took forever" seeing how it was started back in 2011 ~ info on ticker tape labels here |
 |
| and a stamped label is my go - to these days |
 |
| hand stitches [ my favorite part] |
 |
| and a finished binding is the best xo |
