Moving Along

My red and white project is finally quilted and ready for a trim and binding.  Yea! 

 Also, I’m closing in on completing the hand applique for this unit of my block of the month.  

Three of four borders are done.  There have been many days you could find me at the kitchen table working on this while listening to audio books.  My most recent “listen” was Eleanor by David Michaelis.  It was a fascinating look into the life of Eleanor Roosevelt.  I’m learning that she was a very complex, and not very happy person who totally gave herself for others.  I hope the next unit in this BOM has more machine piecing and less handwork.

 

Hubby gave me an early Christmas gift this week, a Roomba!  I’ve always been fascinated by these things, but it was not until our daughter got one that he showed any interest.  I love what it does, but I think he has had the most fun mapping and programming it.  It’s first pass through our house took eight hours.  Hopefully, future runs will be quicker now that it has learned its way around.

The red oak in our front yard put on a good show this year.

And here are my studio supervisors enjoying a sunny spot.
