I got so much done yesterday - finished quilting the rest of the dolls and houses, the last two borders and pinned the circles on - I think there were 42 of them. I even got about half of them sewn down with buttons! I will need to clip all the edges, but decided that would be easier to do all at once. I think I'll be adding a bit more stitching, some of the houses will get paths and some of the circles will get tree trunks.
I even cleaned up my sewing room a bit, cleaned off the bar in the kitchen and put up my Easter tree (which delighted a certain 12th grade girl).
Today I need to take the valentine quilt down and replace it with the Irish Chain, a bit late but I do like to give all the seasonal quilts a turn. The bunny quilt will go up right away because my sister is going to come for a visit with her daughter and grandson! What fun that will be, I'm sure we'll have a grand time and maybe even sneak in some quilting? I guess we'll have to see, at least we can talk about it if nothing else. It feels lovely to be getting some things done, both as far as finishing projects, and in getting my house in shape. It's been a long winter, and I'm looking forward to spring!
Hope my pictures look all right - just took them right off my iphone - pretty handy to run off a quick blog post.
Enjoy!
Pamela
