done is GOOD!

As promised, here is my (Kathy Felmate's) finished I Spy quilt made for my one year old friend who is now TWO! It has gone to Halifax and I am sure it will be a hit. I was machine quilting it myself but with all of the seams and “drag” I was having a lot of trouble and frustration so I gave it to Gwenda and magically and beautifully it came back to me 2 days later, beautifully quilted by G&E at Wooden It Be Nice!! Binding, labelling, finished and off to Halifax. Done is GOOD!
