machine quilting

I've been thinking about all the projects that I have going right now: The one that I think of often, yet can never get the gumption to pick up is the sweater that I started for Ducky 3 years ago--I don't even know if I still have the pattern!?!?! I guess that she wouldn't know if I just made up the rest of it.

Today I continued the Christmas present for Mom. I have begun to finally quilt the seal piece that I started with Hollis Chatelaine over 6 years ago. As I began quilting it, I got all nervous that I would ruin it. The painting is so beautiful, and I don't know if the stitching that I'm doing ontop of it will accentuate or distract from it. So far I have done 2 colours of thread on top of it, and it is looking pretty good. I'm not sure that I like the fact that I am making it up as I'm going. I hope that I have the patience to work on this slowly, and not try to get it done too fast--I may have to work on it after this Friday.
