I'm finally recovering from post-yard-sale lurgy, the stress over listing the house and getting Jazzy speech therapy, yet another birthday (I am now the answer to life, the universe... everything!), and that time of month.
Over the weekend, I actually finished a quilt top (Bright Tumblers, started in 2015), pieced together the fabric I had designated for its backing, pieced together batting from my bin of batting scraps, and got it basted. But before I rearrange furniture and drag the 15 over in front of the 401 to do the quilting, I have a couple other things I want to finish.
Last night I did one, which was making the Giant Geese for this month's block exchange. My parents gave me an alpaca wool pressing mat for my birthday present, and I used it on the geese, and oh my! The seams pressed so smooth and flat! *happy quilter dance* The other thing I need to do before switching into quilting mode is to sew up sample blocks for the October block of the month. Maybe today? But probably tomorrow. Tonight is the board meeting for quilt guild. *prints up copies of the minutes*
