Finished!

Well, that block I've been working on is finished... I still have three to go.

Sometime between now and tomorrow night, I need to get the tracing done on the next block so that I can work on it while watching tv tomorrow night - not that I'm sure there's going to be anything on that I want to see... maybe Hallmark has a new release?

I went down to The Hen House today for the needed advice on my Amish with a Twist ll  BOM that I quit working on  I thought I had royally screwed up May's block.  Janice measured my blocks and they are fine ... a couple are a little off, but nothing that can't be fudged.  Whew!!   Now to find the time to get back to working on the remaining blocks and get the top together & quilted.  

I ALMOST made it out the door of THH without getting distracted by all the eye candy... ALMOST!  I slowed down by the sale display where the fabrics are reduced to $8 a yard and that was my mistake... I thought at first that I was safe and didn't see anything that 'spoke' to me, but then... this one didn't 'speak', it 'meowed'...

The colors are much brighter in person... anyway, I was going to buy 5 yds - enough for a backing if nothing else.  Well, there was only 6 yds left on the bolt and if I wanted to finish the bolt, I could get it for $6 a yard - well, who can't use an extra yard of fabric!  Especially when it's basically FREE...  

I have no idea what I will do with it... maybe I'll see what the repeat is - could be a OneBlockWonder if there's enough.

I can't remember if I told you that I sent my cousin's quilt off to her on Thursday... it arrived today, but I only know that because I had tracking on the package.  I'm dieing to hear SOMETHING from her.  Oh!... this is the quilt I'm talking about...

Most of the fabrics in the quilt are from the fabric stash that her late sister had accumulated before her death.  I did have to add some of my own here and there - mainly the background fabric and the backing.  I'm very proud of my quilting - Mo'e behaved himself very well while using Glide and MagnaGlide thread; they seem to make a very good team.  I really hated to part with this quilt once it was done... it was so pretty and snuggly ( 100% cotton batting by Hobbs).  I guess I'm going to have to get around and make myself one.  :)

Ok, time to fix some dinner here...
