Oh, you've started quilting your Kitchen Sink.....I'm just amazed by the folks who can quilt their own tops. Can you draw? I can't draw to save my life. I once heard if you could draw you could quilt. That's just one of the reasons I've yet to even think about trying to quilt my tops. I can't write either......but love what you've written in your border! Good Luck with the rest. What have you got going on over by your sewing machine, a touch a spring, that's for sure!
Oh wow you'll be done in no time at all....... nice to be home isn't it!
I'm down to hand binding the Elijah quilt for my friend......she adopted two kids and now is having her first grandchild. She is a special friend....she was the first to arrive when my son was born nearly 35 years ago and is his godmother.
So, my name is like this, Gwen is my given name, and growing up it was family that called me that. But about Jr. High, the name Pokey was what I became known as. ( Slow to get the jokes, slow to complete the work, but I call that perfectionism! or, procrastination....) When I'm at work, most people there call me Gwen (or Mrs. Davis, I'm a teacher.) BUT, my honey calls me Pokey. When I got married, our Pastor asked, "Pokey, do you take this man..." At church, I'm Pokey. My friends call me Pokey. As a matter of fact, Pokey Davis is a registered 'alias' at my bank, because occasionally people will write it on checks made out to me-! You get to choose where you want to fit. I answer to any. I wanted folks to know, the name 'Pokey' wasn't made up just for blogging!
