FINISHED QUILT

I finally finished my Polka Dot Girls quilt!!! And, I have entered it in a quilt show to be held July 16 and 17 in Midlothian, Texas. I love it, however, I'm not real happy with the quilting I did. But, I did the best I could and it is finished! I haven't entered a quilt in a show for about 10 years because I never had much confidence that my quilts were good enough. But, I guess my quilts are just as good as some I have seen in shows, so I'm going for it. I'm also entering my tumbler quilt which you can see here.




Good luck with your quilts, and don't forget to keep us posted on your progress!

Love the embroidery work!! Entering shows is great. Just seeing your work up there with everyone else's is a great satisfaction.
Happy Quilting!!

Just pulled my PDG out of storage, getting ready to work on it again. A finished quilt is such an inspiration.

That is awesome!!! Mine is a slow going project. I work on it when I have nothing else to stitch. Plus I really got myself into a pickle. I filled in some of the flowers with satin stitch and other things which will really mean it'll take me a long time. Thanks for sharing and congratulations on winning the blue ribbon.yooohooo

You did a great job!! I started mine (the embroidered part) about 2years ago, YES! I hate to say it but anyways I only have a few finished. However, I am filling in the areas instead of just the outline.
Glad you won a ribbon!!
