Dear readers,
I am an impatient quilter and am happy to be finished. It was a beautiful day today (but cool) down at Emma Wood State Beach in Ventura. Since I have the day off - I headed down to take some pictures:
The quilt is just sewn and remains unwashed. Of course I did sew it using steam pressing (against my local quilt shop owner's wishes). It should look even better when washed!
I could have designed some abstract design on the back - but was simply too lazy:)
If it was a bit warmer I could have stayed out all day.
Wonderful breeze.
Our little bridge connected the two beach state parks in Ventura.
Close up of the straight line stitching. Not perfect. But I enjoy the imperfections.
The Bernina 430 is really as good as they say for quilting - a beautiful stitch. I think the all metal insides make a big difference - especially in the bobbin.
Wow! I wish I were in the water. I'm a bit fatigued from a hike in the Santa Monica mountains yesterday.
P.S. This was number 15 on my 2012 "to do" list. I've since scratched two - three entries as my sewing needs have changed.

It turned out beautiful! It really does remind me of the sea-side, for some reason. Lovely job. :)
Thanks H!! I am super proud of my accomplishment - it actually feels great to have finished!
