A Happy, Busy Week





Last week was busier than usual and the only quilting accomplishment I have to show is that I am down to my last flag motif on this applique project.  Then I will be ready to choose how to quilt it.  The original pattern included a pieced border using the fabrics in the applique, but I no longer have enough to do that.  It will be big enough for a wall quilt without a border, and I would like to finish this.

 


Friday was a combined birthday celebration for my daughter and Mother’s Day for me.  After eating a huge lunch so I didn’t have to cook dinner that night, we went for pedicures.  This was the gift box waiting for me when we got back to the house.

 


Periodically, since beginning my blog in 2010, I would get a bound, printed copy of the blog as a permanent backup.  The publisher I have always used notified me that they are going out of business, and I had a two-week window in which to get a final book made.  It arrived in the mail Friday.

that looks like a wonderful book, someone else recently said they do the same and it was going out of business.
That basket was a great idea!
