It's finished....and I cleaned, don't die of shock!

I was a little worried about the thread as I neared the end. I made it!
I tried taking these pix without the flash, they aren't that great either. One of these days when I have time to mess around, I am going to practice taking some so I can get good color! I used a feather panto and like how it flows into itself with each row.
Here is the back....

After that I decided to clean a room. My house has been sorely neglected the last few months...so it felt good to clean. I have lots of little 'stuff' sitting around, like tea sets and bears and other crafty things I made, so had to wash that stuff and fluff what can't be washed in the dryer. I swear some of it is going to be put away, I am tired of dusting it. But I love my little tea sets, so they will probably stay. And you have to have a few little guys to go to the tea parties. See why I have problems putting stuff away?

  1. I love the idea of tea sets and a few bears for a tea party!

  2. You could just have tea parties on weekends and put everything away on Mondays. Then it wouldn't get dusty. I have cleared my house of a lot of the stuff that has to be moved to dust. That makes dusting a lot more fun. But then my motto is "I dust once a year whether it needs it or not".

    Glad you didn't run out of thread and that you finished the quilting.

    Enjoy your summer vacation.

  6. The quilt is beautiful...I love the feathers!

    I have the same problem with knick knacks and teddy bears. Every time I clean I swear that I'm going to box them all up, but they look so nice after everything has been buffed and fluffed!

  7. I love the quilting. I don't like cleaning and dusting. I have a bunch of that to do myself. You want to come do mine?

  8. I love the quilt and the quilting.

    My cleaning plan is that I clean the house top to bottom one day ( and one day only) a week. That way I get the other 6 days to play

    Love and hugs Gina xx
