Hallelujah!

Oh boy, oh boy, oh joy! I'm so happy this is done!! This is a project I promised to do for church. It is the Secret Project I mentioned not too long ago. It was months ago that I said yes to making these. The powers-that-be waited patiently, with only a few polite nudges, and then they gave me a deadline (tomorrow) which I was finally able to satisfy (in the knick of time).


I kind of knew what I wanted to do, and I had worked up a prototype pretty quickly, but the actual making and quilting was a HUGE job. No wonder I had procrastinated! I hope they're happy, because I'm never doing this again. Whew!




The good news is, even though I'm griping about the work and how tired I am, I'm very happy with how they turned out! I'm celebrating that they are a success! Hooray!! Tomorrow is their "unveiling", and along with a lot of other fun events for the morning, it should be a good day at church. Huzzah huzzah!
