Just a basic large meander with Black Glide thread on top and Black MagnaGlide on the bottom. Then it was on to binding and the label. All in all, it took me about three hours ( the binding was already made and I grabbed a scrap of muslin for the label).
Then last night, before the power went out, I worked on the current Vintage Tin block. Didn't quite finish it before the power went out - and didn't take a pic either... I'll do that tonight.
Tomorrow, it looks like I'll be working on a sample row for one of the local quilt shops Row by Row pattern. I was in the shop today and she was telling me about having to change from one fabric supplier to another because she didn't have enough for the kits and to order from the one company would cost an outrageous amount. Her mother suggested that she hire me to test the block instructions and make a sample out of the new fabrics; I told her I'd be glad to do it - no pay necessary. While there, I bought fabric for a future Christmas gift ( so I can't show you) and ordered a 32 oz bottle of MaryEllen's Best Press. She had smaller bottles in stock, but they were the Linen scented and I prefer the Lavender. I forgot to ask how long it will take to get it in. :( I'm pumping on fumes.
Ok, guess that's it for now... since I didn't sleep well last night due to thunderstorms, power outage, and a couple of wierd dreams, I think I'm going to go take a nap.
