It's A Cynch!

I made a monogrammed star quilt for my friend's first grandson, who is due to make his entrance in March. We can't wait to meet the little guy and his mom is the prettiest pregnant lady! I made this in one week! That's right. I said ONE WEEK!!! I signed up to take a long arm quilting class at Huntsville Sew and Vac on a Saturday. So I quickly put the top together using a pattern I saw online. I long arm quilted it that Saturday in about 3 hours! Needless to say, I bought the Handiquilter. It was the easiest machine to use. I should have it in about a week! Extremely excited doesn't describe how I feel!! Sorry. Back to the quilt...I monogrammed Parker's initials on the star. It ended up being a sample quilt to practice freemotion quilting. I was happy with how it turned out, although customers kept coming into the store and watching me. That made me really nervous and the quilt patterns probably suffered a little. But she won't know any difference. I hope ...
