I am so excited today because I finally finished the Stitchery Sampler Quilt top that seems like I've been working on FOREVER! When I started this project I had no idea how difficult some of it would end up being, but in the end I am so proud to have a finished project. All the blood, sweat and tears were worth it. 

I have the backing and binding to complete the quilt, but I have to get better on my longarm before I can do the final quilting of this one. I have too much work in this to just go about quilting it on the machine and making a mess of it. I have even contemplated sending this one out to a longarmer with way more experience than myself so that it gets done in a way I might never be able to do.

Without further ado...the finished product!
