Ok...DD is truly...Done, Done! Wheewww!

Yahoo! the quilt top is finished. Whewwww! I am not good at borders, I measured and measured and carefully applied, we shall see if it will work or not. But done is so sweet, so good! Big thanks to Miss Bonnie at Quiltville for this pattern.
Above is the Be-attitudes top finished, almost, for the Be-attitudes quilt. The picture looks a little dark, but truly the colors are cheerful and fun. This one is probably a hand-quilted one, so it will be some time before it is done.

How is your day? Monday, Monday???

Gratitude's:

a little sewing machine that works, my $ 69.00 Walmart wonder.

a little old dog, still faithful and waggy-tailed, even at almost 17 years old.

a little supper all ready to go! No more cooking today.

Have a happy day!!

The Double Delight is awesome! What an accomplishment, that is a ton of nine patches. Whew!

You know I love the Be Attitudes. Mine is waiting to be pin basted so I can quilt it.

Very lovely and beautifully made. I hope you are keeping both to enjoy all your own! I love Bonnie's patterns and also Nancy Halvorsen's designs. I bought one of Nancy's Christmas books years ago and made little felt ornaments with her adorable designs, my fav was an Elf!
Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful Double Delight! I still need to add the borders - and I better get my skates on, because it's supposed to be a birthday present for my Mom in June.

And the Be Attitudes is delightful too!

Julia said...

Your Double Delight is wonderful!! I have a kit for the Be Attitudes, seeing this really makes me want to get mine going. Did you do the applique by machine?

It's absolutely gorgeous Julie!! I love, love, love it. You really are going great guns with all these mystery quilts, and those that aren't mysteries *VBS*
I'm curious about your WalMart gratitude, did you sewing machine bite the dust? IMWTK *VBS* Big hugs, Finnie

meggie said...

Your DD is one of the nicest I have seen.
I have just been catching up with all your posts- what lovely work you do!
Your Be-Attitudes is a lovely top too.

Rose Marie said...

Your tops are great .... doesn't it feel good to get to this stage?

Jenni said...

Nothing beats a 'finish'! Well done. They both look wonderful, but I do love the pink one.

Unknown said...

What beauties. The DD is wonderful and I don´t see anything wrong in the borders! I agree, Bonnie´s patterns are the best. Take care.

Linda C said...

How very wonderful to see such lovely eye candy on your blog! Well done, Julie!

I sorta wish I had not decided to do my Be Attitudes as little quilt-lets when I see how yours look. Too late now, I guess. It is fun to use them as a little monthly theme. Be Kind is fused and just waiting to be stitched down and quilted.
