One monkey off my back
It is no secret I have many quilts in line to be quilted. What made it worse, is I loaded a quilt in February on the longarm and had a heart attack two days later. It seemed an insurmountable task to work on it. Besides fatigue, stamina, and not knowing if I could do it, it sat and sat and nothing else could get done. I had to do the baby quilt for my daughter, so this quilt, Split Decision, had to be completed. I said a lot of prayer, girded up my loins (Biblical reference) and gritted my teeth. It got done in time to do the baby quilt I delivered last week.
Finally, I was able to take it outside to photograph because there was some sun today. I need to bite the bullet and buy lights and do it properly inside. I have the stand.

Also- Blogger has been unkind lately to comments. I just got a lump of them. It strips out the email addresses. I will be more vigilant to search and answer. I have the email addresses of those whom I know, but if you are a non-frequent commenter, please leave your email. This has been very hard as you, my readers, are my quilt community!

It's a beauty. It also represents a milestone for you....accomplishing a big finish after all you have been thru. Super job:)
I like that quilt. Congrats on biting the bullet and getting it done. Glad you have recovered so well.
Getting started is the hard part. I haven't loaded one on my longarm for over 5 months. Once I do one I'll do a second one.

I remember when you made this top. I'm glad you finished it because it turned out great!
Good for you for girding up and getting it done. That had to feel like such an accomplishment, and a milestone for getting back to what it is you want to do! Great job!
A great design Linda, pleased for you that you were able to complete the quilting.
