Here's one of my recent finishes, the New Wave quilt, pattern by Elizabeth Hartman. It's intended for one of my husband's colleagues who just gave birth to a boy. She won't return to Egypt for a couple of months though so it's sitting on a chair right now. The fabric is Simply Color from Moda.
I had an exciting Christmas and received a walking foot from my grandmother and a darning foot from my sister. I had quilted the above quilt before receiving these gifts and was shocked to see how much easier it is to quilt straight lines using a walking first. Of course, before that happened I managed to put the foot on the wrong way and had wondered what all the fuss was about because I couldn't see the huge difference. The next few weeks will definitely involve a lot of free motion quilting practice. I also have another baby quilt to finish before a shower next week and need to start thinking about what to give my grandmother for her birthday on February 14. Maybe a pillow?
