Dear readers, do you remember this amazing quilt my mother made for my brother?
Which makes my first finish of 2013 a project for someone else. Gah. I now know why the Selfish Seamstress calls it Sewing with a Grudge.

| Looks pretty amazing on my bed, no? But they wouldn't let me keep it. |
No lie, I think it's by far the best quilt my mother has ever made.
So, the quilt top was completed in February, and then it sat around at my parents for a while, then my mother sent it off to be quilted, it came back from the quilting, and I offered to bind it for her.
Sigh. And so it sat around again for a few months, as I procrastinated on the ~2 hour chore. (I don't like sewing for other people.)
New Year, New Reethi. Or so I'd like to think. Plus, I wanted the space in my fabric closet, so I got to work today, spent a few hours on it, and voila! (Funny story that - there's never an ill wind that blew no good. I was unexpectedly home this morning waiting for some roofers to show up to patch a hole in my roof. On the plus side, it gave me a few unscheduled hours to sew. On the minus side, they told me I need a new roof. Houses. Sigh.)

WOW!It does look "GOOD"!
Beautiful quilt, Reethi! Your mom makes lovely quilts!
About Houses - yes, the surprises(!) always involve money! Last summer, we changed the roof, windows - just on top floor and now its time to work on the basement already.
