It might not seem like it these days … but I did get 9 quilts tied on my first trip to Maine so maybe I’m not as behind as I feel but there are group tops to quilt, string blocks to finish, and a Jelly Roll quilt to piece.
I’ve been a little overwhelmed the last week or so … it turns out Keith has an early “retirement” from the company he’s worked for … 25 years!! They’re going through a reorganization combining a couple divisions and his position was no longer needed. He’s pretty happy about it and I’m trying to adjust.
Most of today was spent trying to get his new electronics purchased (iPhone), set up (he’s going to use my computer that hardly ever gets touched), and ordered (iPad) I don’t even remember how old his iPad mini is but it’s definitely time to replace. I’m his IT guy at home so it was a busy day and there’s still more work to be done!!
So after he went to bed I’m getting some of my work done … unpacking my muslin … with all the Rainbow HeartStrings blocks I made the last couple months I was out of muslin for my foundations and Joann’s is no longer an option. It was suggested that I try the muslin from Marshall Dry Goods and my order came while we were gone – two 10 yard bolts of 90 inch muslin. That should do me for a LONG while!
I brought back six tops from Maine to quilt and send back to Bev (no pressure on getting them done) and I got the first one loaded on the longarm tonight and plan to get it quilted in the next couple days.
Since I finished the Linen Stitch crochet blanket it’s time to start another one and that’s what I’m going to do now! I’ve not used this yarn before but I like Lion Brand yarns so we’ll see how it goes.
