Today is my Moms birthday, I made her a gluten free cake (so that she could share it with Aleric) and I spent a few weeks working on a quilt for her new chair. This is the first quilt I have made so there are a few small flaws and im sure that all of the quilting pros would laugh at me but I am very proud of myself. Now lets get to the pictures!
This is the front of the quilt:
And the back of the quilt, I really like how the flowers look like the ones from the top are falling and forming the ones on the bottom:
Close up of the stitching, I used the coolest multi color thread I LOVE this thread, if I had a million dollars I would buy every color they make!
And lastly just a picture of the quilt a little closer up:

So while I was finishing up my mail bags my friend Tiffany came over and sat with me, she tells me that she is scared to sew because she is scared of sewing her finger. I told her you had to practically be a fucking retard to sew your own finger. So the next day I decided to make Tiffany a mug rug, she picked a fish shape, I cut it out, started sewing it, got about halfway done and I sewed my fucking finger. Now in my defense I know why it happened (the needle was in sewing position of all the way left - I usually sew with the needle in the middle position), and really it could have been much worse, I caught my middle finger right on the edge of the nail, not through it, I was using a small needle and luckily I have Chris to fix my mishaps. So we disconnected my finger from the machine, the needle had jammed itself into the foot on the machine so we had to take lightly pry the foot away from the needle, and then had to pull the needle from my hand. It really wasn't that bad, it stung, it was tingly for a few hours, but overall its fine and even kinda funny in hindsight. I mean it was ME who said you had to be a retard to do something like that. Right before we pulled it out I thought we should take a picture :)
And this is just a must see picture of Cocoa Bird!
