Light at the end of the tunnel

;MIGHT be in sight.  I just finished the last of the blocks on my "One of these blocks is not like the others" and went back, ripped out and restitched an earlier block that had tension issues.  Now, all that's left are the two borders; they're pretty easy... I just need to mark for the inner border and I don't feel like doing it right now... it took wayyy too long to finish the last four blocks - Mo'e was stopping for no apparent reason here and there... I stitched one quarter of a block in the wrong direction ( or over went the boundary - or both) and had to remove that stitching and redo it correctly.

Here's a small pic of the two borders... I have to mark distance for the inner border so I know where to put the circles ( freehand)... the quilting in the outside border won't be seen as easily so I'm just doing the meandering.


 Anyway, I'm done for now... hubby and I are going 'out' for dinner... there is a fund raiser for a family battling cancer and tacos are on the menu - #1 we're going out  #2 family needs financial help that we can give and  #3 I don't have to figure out something for dinner and then cook it.... sounds like a win-win-win to me.  I'll probably start the marking on the quilt later tonight and then do the quilting tomorrow... OH YEAH... have to make sure I have enough fabric for the binding, too.  If not, then it will be a quick run down to The Hen House sometime tomorrow.

Speaking of quilt shops... I've been ordering my Glide thread and, now, magna glide bobbins online from Quilted Joy.  Well, my latest order was for the bobbins in cream and black.  They sent the black but said the cream was backordered - even at the factory and they would send them as soon as they got them in.  After a couple of weeks, I called to check on my order and Kelsey informed me they still weren't in.  They arrived here yesterday - with a nice note from Kelsey AND a fat quarter of fabric with an apology.  This is the fabric... I LOVE it.  It's called 8 Days a Week and I want MORE MORE MORE  LOL.  Not sure what I'm going to do with it... it will have to age for awhile, I guess.

that's all for now....
