Lovely finish update with pictures

As I mentioned last time, I ripped out all the work I'd done in favor of the new thread I purchased. That's it threaded on my machine, waiting patiently for me to get started.  How exciting is a fresh spool of thread?

And here is a picture of quilting in progress

you'll notice it is neither perfectly straight nor nice even stitches, but it's better than I have been in the past so there's that.  I'll admit freely that the actual quilting is my weakness.  I'm not great at it, but I'll get better if I keep working at it.

I'll definitely have this one finished by the end of the month and score my first lovely finish of the year.

It's kind of exciting.
