I have two finishes this week, but pictures of only one!

I made a slip cover for my sister, finished it just in time for my mom to pick it up to ship, and POOF!  No picture.

Not the most attractive picture, but we are in the shortest, darkest days of the year!

Can you spot my mistake?
I also finished this lovely, from a free pattern for National Quilting Day by Judy Laquidara of Patchwork Times.  I machine quilted it (the largest quilt yet) and decided that, if it weren't for the time crunch, I really shouldn't do quilts this large by machine.  I have 5.5" of throat space and a tiny sewing space.  Maneuvering this quilt made for sore shoulders, wrists, and hands.

I should name it, but haven't gotten that far.  It is quite lovely, and I'm so glad I made it!

(I forgot to mention... would you like to win a picture frame ornament?  Check it out!)

Check out other finished at Crazy Mom Quilts!

I always keep the mistakes in my quilts. No one ever notices except me and it makes it more personal!

I love your quilt! It looks great in the teals. I had to stare at it for a very long time to find the mistake.

My grandmother once told me that it is a tradition of the Amish to purposely put in mistakes into their quilts because only God is perfect. ;) It's beautiful!

August Block Count

 I thought I wrote this, but it seems to be lost somewhere or I never wrote it at all… August was a quiet block month, with only 42 16-patch...
