A Deadline
How do you handle a quilt deadline, or any deadline for that matter? Well, I usually set about a plan and am finished long before the looming deadline. Today, I have a quilt deadline. I need to have my little cowboy, grandson quilt completed and presented on October 8. I started the design process one month ago today. I have been drawing, making patterns, measuring, sewing, cutting, marking like a mad woman and finally have the quilt basted and ready to quilt. I usually take my time in this process, enjoying each segment. One month for the whole thing! For me this is a record! And one week I was without a sewing machine! Now, only 3 weeks left according to my self-imposed deadline and all I need to do is machine quilt it. I have never machine quilted before, so this might present the ultimate challenge. We shall see. Then on to bind it, wash it and wrap it!
And a name? ….
Our son and precious DDIL have decided on a name for our grandson! Can you guess what it is? Three guesses….
I just KNEW you'd be able to guess it! :) LUKE!
Not sure how I will quilt it. I must make it easy, since I have no idea what I am doing. I am thinking of outlining everything and then diagonal stitching around. I know, not very exciting, but I will just be so happy if it turns out! Think I’ll take a look at some other blogs for inspiration!
Happy Quilting!

Hi Linda
How are you getting on with your new machine? Can't wait to see the cowboy quilt when you have it all finished
