Pinkkiakin pinkimpi / Pinker than pink

Valmista tuli! JEEE! Ja jopa ihan ajoissa. Kaksi paivaa etuajassa omalle dead linelle. Sain eilen illalla pikkuneidin tilkkutakin sitten valmiiksi. Jos nyt viela jostain syysta oikein innostun tekemisen puutteessa niin saatan siihen jotain kasin viela kirjailla. Mutta se on valmis! 9kk neidin syntyman jalkeen. Korkea aikakin jo. Ja kuinka hyva mieli siita tulikin. Aikamoinen ikuisuusprojekti ollut. Kansihan mulla oli oikeestaan valmis jo pari kuukautta ennen H-hetkea. Mutta se sitten jai kun tuolla lattialla konyaminen ison mahan kanssa oli sen verran hankalaa. Neiti jo kokeilikin uuden peittonsa. Koirakin kavi sita testaamassa (koira testasili sita vahan valia nyt talla viikolla kun sita tein - valilla oli alla, valilla paalla).Onhan se aika pinkki. Mutta menkoon. Esikoisen tilkkutakit (2kpl) ovat kaikkea muuta kuin pinkkeja eli kaipa tamankin varinen tie piti kulkea. Helpotuksen huokaus kuitenkin. SE ON VALMIS!

PS: Yksi hikka matkalla oli. Suunnittelin kovasti etta olisin tikannut koko tilkkutakin koneella. No ei onnistunut koska tilkkutyo oli liian iso ja en saanut natisti tilkkua kulkemaan neulan alla (en siis omista kunnon tilkkukonetta). Yhdessa kuvassa nakyylin kuinka epatasaista tikista tulikin. Meni siis purkuun ja kasintikkaukseksi.


It's done! YEY! And it was in time too. Actually two days ahead of the deadline I set to myself. I finished the little one's quilt last night. If for some reason I get inspiration I might stitch something to it. But it's done! Nine months after she was born. It was about time too. And how good it makes me feel. The cover was basically ready 2 months before the due date but as I was so clumsy with my big tummy, crawling on the floor was not really my idea of fun. The quilt has been tested by its new owner. Also the dog has tested it (he's been testing it several times during the week - sometimes he's been under it, sometimes on it). The quilt is quite pink. But let it be. The two quilts I made for the first born are everything but pink. So I guess I had to walk this coloured road as well. However, I'm letting a big sigh of relief. It's finished!

PS: I did have one hitch along the way. I had planned to stitch the quilt with my sewing machine. Well, I didn't get the quilt to move nicely under the needle as it was too big (I do not own a sewing machine designed for quilting). The stitching was very uneven as you can see in one of the pictures. So had to undo that and hand quilt.
