Strolling Along

Strolling along through September,

I have officially survived Friday the 13th and the following full moon.

Safely I might add ... here in my sewing room. 

Finished this beautiful gem ...

This pattern is by Lizzy House 

September of 2015 the KMQG hosted the class that Lizzy House 

gave to learn how to make this quilt.

I loved every moment of the class and getting the opportunity to meet Lizzy House.

I had completed all but the final 3 blocks needed to complete this quilt top before putting it away.

Honesty time ... I was in a horrible marriage that was debilitating.

I was left with barely enough confidence to wake up each morning.

The divorce has been final for 1 year now and I was able to finish this beautiful quilt.

Finishing this quilt top is a huge triumph for me.

I feel successful for the first time in a very long time.

And, it feels wonderful!

💖💖💖

It may have taken me four years to finish this quilt top but that's okay.

The quilt top is finished and I am in a much better place in my life.

It feels good ... real good.

During the class Lizzy House signed my practice block 

and I am making it into a pillow.

This block will become a part of my Pillow Project.

***Now to go back through all of the old posts of talented machine quilters to find 

just the right person to machine quilt this beauty.

I'm so excited!!!
