Another one is..

started.  This quilt is one of the UFO's I have.  This quilt that I am doing is going to have easy peasy custom quilting.  Well, it is supposed to be easy peasy, but it isn't working out quite that way.  I have had my machine for almost a year and another machine before this one for a year and I have never quilted a custom quilt.  I can follow a panto pretty well but going self-guided is proving to be not as easy peasy as it should be.  My lines aren't very curvy where they should be, they are not straight where they should be and well, my feathers need help in some areas.  It's funny, sometimes my feathers look nice and in some spots they are pretty hideous.  This is where PPP comes in, right?

Here are some pix for you to either enjoy or laugh at.  :)

The Beast is done..

OK, the quilt, otherwise known as "the beast" is finally done.  I had to remove another row of stitching a couple of rows later, but I did and got it done.  A wonderful friend of mine put the binding on for me, as she has been doing for quite awhile now. 

This is one of the seven UFO's.  I now have 6 tops to quilt and 2 projects that are still in the process of getting completed.  I am working on getting the tops completed, so I am slowly working on my goals.

I not only finished the beast, I also finished the mystery quilt that I have been working on.  I run the mystery quilt program within my guild.  I usually put the mystery quilts together before starting the program, but with my mom's health issues last year, I wasn't able to get it done.  But, I have it done now and I like it.  I will show pictures of it after the June meeting (don't want to spoil the fun).

Here are some pics of the beast:
