c'est fini

Well, after three hours of hand stitching the binding and several more hours over several days hand quilting the damn thing, the birthday quilt was finally done in the wee hours of last night. Tom Waits on the stereo (LPs no less) and the fire burning next to me, it was a pretty pleasant way to spend the evening. Or it was until my hand starting cramping. Anyway, it's done. And it looks a lot better and far less wrinkled than it does in this picture. Curse you iPhone. Come back Nikon - how I miss you and your variable depth of focus. Sigh.
