Today I washed and ironed some more Williams Inn yardage for my Be Attitudes mini-quilts. The Bama Belles were so generous at Christmas time that they have a good stake in this quilt. I also cut out the WTIL challenge quilt top using a pattern from Quick Cozy Couch Quilts specifically Quilt #2 (Christmas gift from DJ). I drew it up in EQ because I wanted to substitute 2 1/2 strips for the 3 1/2 inch ones the author used and resize the quilt for Wrap 'Em needs.

I am still considering which long set aside project to pick up next. Far, far too many choices there! I am leaning towards a Lazy Girl Designs Towne Purse that is half done OR that Rosy Red St. Nicholas redwork piece that hangs off my shelving units. My notes got cold about the border on that one. I had been considering foundation piecing it as the sections are sorta small for my fumble fingers. I drew that up in EQ way back when so would need to do some printing. See what I mean about getting distracted? Both of these are personal projects which might explain why it has been waiting, antiquing.
Our guest arrived in the early morning hours yesterday so the boys got in 18 holes and Herb some practice shots at the nearby old Army golf course. He left first thing this morning for the next leg of the journey. It has been raining most of the day and they had not planned to play anyway. Back to normal with just the three of us. Naturally I am counting Skyler in that number.
So that is what is going on around here---thanks for stopping by!
So many wonderful choices on which to work! just wait...the finishes will start rolling in soon :)
