I am finally getting to link up to TNT Thursday because I finally created and free motion quilted a lap size quilt all by my lonesome.
I finished everything but the quilt label last night! It took until midnight to bind it. I ended up having to go get binding fabric, because I forgot that I had used the last of my grey fabric to make the back for the table topper that never got finished. I also picked up potential binding fabrics for the Cherry Sweet Road to Ireland that has been patiently waiting to be bound.
And now for the pictures...

Also, today I received the Liebster Award from Emily at Insanity Rules. Thanks Emily! I have had this award before, so I am going to pass on passing it on for now. I guess maybe I should have kept the little image on my sidebar. Here is my Liebster Award Blog post.
