I work full time as an oncology nurse in an acute care unit at the hospital, back in August I realized summer was nearly over and I didn't have a vacation, so I picked this week and decided to go on a Sewcation!!! Day 1 and 2 I finished quilting this little heart and nine patch (I was inspired by a quilt I saw on mainlyquiltsoflove.com) I also went shopping and had lunch with my sister!
here it is on the longarm....

and off the longarm!!! (hard to get good pictures in the evening)...





 I've been following Leah Day for some time and have decided to quilt my UFO, a project I started back in 2001!!!!! It was for my son, who went off to boyscout camp when he was 12 years old and now if I can get it completed he can have it for his return from Americorps St Louis ERT! Hopefully I can complete it on Sewcation Day 3/4! :)  So, I was thinking about why I didn't complete this quilt, I remember going into a quilt shop to buy backing fabric, I showed the sales person the quilt and she made a personal comment of how unattractive she thought the colors were...needless to say I didn't buy backing fabric and instead I threw it into the closet, now looking at it I don't think the colors are ugly, blue was my son's favorite color...lesson learned...don't listen to people's negative ugly comments!
