This past Saturday was Jill's birthday. A group of us got together for dinner and a movie(Old Spaghetti Factory and Remember Me). Jill is a big coffee lover and I knew this little quiltie would be perfect for her.
I got it finished up with literally less than an hour to spare before we headed out. I quilted it with invisible thread; what a nightmare! I'm not thrilled with how it turned out but I had pulled the quilting out twice already and didn't want to do it again.
I had just enough time to get her card done too. Than it was off for an evening of fun.

That is just so cute I am sure Jill loved it.
Oh, I love the quilt and the card, too! :o)
Very lovely quilt (and card, too!)
I'm sure they made her feel loved.
I love them both, equally, the card and the quilt. I would have never guessed you had been working on it right up to the last minute. :P ILY
Cute! I have one of McKenna Ryan coffee series patterns that I haven't done yet. I really like working with invisible thread...but maybe that is because that is all I used when I first started quilting. It certainly is different than using cotton thread!
Aww, sorry you had an issue with the invisible thread. I hate it on my domestic but I've put it on my Voyager 17 and it worked like a dream. I was thrilled!
Love the quiltlet though.
Great work on both the little quilt and the card. I enjoy making cards too but I find I make such a mess with all the paper that I have to choose between quilting or cardmaking--never both on the same day :-)
That little quilt is so cute. How is it done? Applique? Or is it a panel? The card is great too!
