Dance Night

My Day... not sewing, but not too bad

My brother and his family left this morning. After the goodbyes and comforting Savannah - who was very tearful and so, so sad that they had left - I got myself together and headed to the dentist. Ugh, those 7:00 am appointments are dreadful! My class was full of sweet kiddos that had sentiments such as, "I really missed you, Mrs. Robinson!" and "I made you this picture during vacation." and so on. They were pretty good all day. We got lots done.

I left work at 4:00 - maybe a record for me! Started a load of laundry and did a bit more than 2 miles on the treadmill. I really forced myself to do it, but the rich eatin' we've been doing made my shirt a bit snugger than I remember it being before.

Thankfully, we have leftovers so I don't have to cook. I'm hoping to get the last binding done on the McDaniel quilts so I can concentrate on the mystery. I do have all of the cutting done since I snuck in the sewing room to get those things taken care of whenever I could. I hope to catch up with you all soon!

Not sewn....

My blocks aren't sewn together but all my zillion pieces are cut and in place just waiting. Not scrappy but I think I really like it. We'll see when I start sewing if I still like it. Hope your day was as fun!

Janettes blocks so far.

First Completed Project of 2013!!

I put the last few stitches in the binding a few minutes ago - once I got my nephew, Hudson, to sleep for his nap. This is round two of the napping today. He went down earlier in a portable crib in my sewing room. About 20 minutes later, I thought I heard something. Yep! He was awake, poopy, had escaped from the crib, and was standing by the door with the TV on!!. Upon further inspection, I found my computer in crash recovery mode, my sewing machine unthreaded, and my pins all over the floor. And that's just what I can see on the surface!! Who knows what else I'll find in the days and weeks ahead!

Link to the Big Reveal

Since it isn't posted in the "normal" spot, I thought I would add a link here for ease:

Can't wait to see everyone's quilts!

The Big Reveal

Bonnie posted the final part of Easy Street. I think I like it. Just hoping my one background print doesn't make it dull. Looking forward to some sewing once I get my home back from company!!!
