My Eagle Quilt

Here's one of my first quilts that I attempted to quilt myself. It is simply a panel of fabric that I did stitching on freehand. I found out really quick that this is a lot harder to do than it looks. If you look very close at it you will see some long stitches and a bunch of tiny tiny stitches. Oh, how I wish I had $5,000 for that Bernina 440 Aurora sewing machine with the stitch regulator on it. (I can dream can't I?) Even though my stitches were pretty irregular, I did enjoy trying my hand at this. I haven't done much of anything else since trying this, but I'm getting ready to try again, hopefully armed with a bit more knowledge about what I'm doing this time. Of course, there's no guarantee that the outcome will be any better. But I keep trying anyway... It's just so much fun!
