free motion quilting night

I have been putting in long, long work hours as I will be gone Friday. I pushed the other night to pin this ufo quilt-and then last night I was too tired to do any quilting. I got home even later tonight as I zipped over to see Alice after work. She is an excellent tantrum thrower! She has the throwing herself on the floor and kicking her feet down pat. Such drama! At 18 months she is giving her folks a taste of what a strong willed person she truly is. I think they are doing a fine job in handling it I might add. It has to be terribly frustrating trying to communicate with not quite proper words at your command-so much easier to recognize as a grandparent. At any rate-I came home and pretty much decided to sit down and do a little quilting. Two hours later, I am done with this quilt. Most of it looks pretty decent too. I am putting into action those tips I picked up at the last machine quilting class I took. I will save the trimming and tidying up for another night, most likely Monday night if I am lucky. I have a few other charity quilts to quilt up as well-all good warm up for the personal quilt I want to do some free motion quilting on. Once I put the binding on I will put up a photo...you all have a great weekend while I am gone...
