Not to sound bitter, but it was pretty much the same o same o day here for me. I'd already received a gift from my son earlier this week and yesterday a card came from my oldest daughter. Younger daughter sent me a text today. Older daughter did call me this evening and we video chatted for awhile... neither of us had a lot to say.
I spent the afternoon in my sewing room... was trying to sort again when I spotted my mug rug pattern book and, since it was out and some scraps were still out, I decided to do a couple. You should be able to recognize the fabric used in the flower one... scraps that I was trying to use up yesterday - and I still have some.
Then, as I was walking back to my sewing room after a potty break or some sort of break, I spotted a pattern and decided that while I had a good idea where everything was, I'd do it. First I went digging into my Vintage Tin quilt tub as I was pretty sure there was some 'oil stain' fabric left from the embroidered pieces. I never got that far into the tub for laying right on the top of the fabric was two pieces of route 66 fabric in black & cream. PERFECT!...
I finished this about 1/2 a hour ago... including sleeve to hang it. I didn't make a label; I just signed right on the back in two places (one's under the sleeve).
The dark green that I used for the truck body is from scraps left from the Thankful for Farmers quilt that I did two years ago
and everything else was right there close at hand, including the batting.
That's it for tonight... hope to work on the Beachy Bovines quilt tomorrow and maybe even get it off the frame so it can be trimmed and bound.
