The last stitch

Well it's official... the redwork on the Christmas quilt is finished!

I was so excited I took a picture of the final stitch:

I'm not quite sure how I feel about the stitching part being over.... Elated, relieved, forlorn? Possibly a combination of all of those.

I'm actually wondering what I'm going to do of an evening now that it's all over, but I'm sure I'll find something.

The next task is piecing it all together and then having it quilted by machine. I'm hoping it's going to look as good when it's done as I think it's going to!
