Turning in a quilt for competition is so different than finishing one for a friend. Fabric and stitch have a life of its own. It shrinks, stretches and moves. The one secret I picked-up in classes is to soak the little sucker. Stretch it and pull it until it is straight. So now she lays under 10 rocks (yup rocks from a construction site :part of the Rocky Mountains) stretched and wet. Hope she comes out straight tomorrow. It turns cold again on Sunday. If she's still wet on Sunday My Maggie quilt will have frost and icicles on her. Deadlines!

Looks just like her. Do you want a headshot of a bighorn sheep?
