I DID IT! One Stitch At A Time.

Yeh!!! I finished climbing my mountain this week, Wed. Oct. 22nd. But instead of one step at a time, it was one stitch at a time. It took 160 hours of work to finish the quilting. A special thank you to those sisters who donated 33 hours of that time (Judy Rowley, Susan Hawkins, Lana Nielson, Michele Casper, Nancy Nielson, & Barb Winder). All I have left to do is finish machine sewing the binding on the outside edge & wrap it over the edge & hand stitch it on the front, which I will do as we are traveling to Utah next week. That will take some time, but much easier & faster than the hand quilting. These two pictures were taken after I finished the last stitches of the Salt Lake Temple (the temple itself & then the whole quilt spread out). The quilt is ivory on the front & sage green on the back.
