woohoo, snowballs here, snowballs there. If my camera would work I would show you the pile. If I was at home tonight I would have thrown the sashing fabric down there with them. BUT YOU KNOW HOW LIFE GOES..if if if ......today was "cars breaking down" day, first daughters, then mine. Fortunately mine was only a flat tire. Hers, however, was a two day job and so she needs a ride to work, Mom to the rescue..........
anyway, 14.5 blocks are done 1.5 to go. Saturday is my "done with the stitching portion and time for the sewing portion" goal so that I can assemble the blocks into a top. Our Quiltin'chicks group is having a hen party, a 10-3 sit and sew. I can't wait, good friends, lots of laughs, crunch and munch food, hopefully no unstitching! Whether I'm done with the embroidery or not, they will be set into the top. I can always finish embroidering them that way. They'll just be a little more cumbersome, but not impossible. I did get patterns packaged individually and complete sets to Patches, Etc and Specialty Quilts, but the directions for a complete quilt are still a little sketchy until this weekend. Now I haven't even finished this quilt and have sketches for a couple more pattern ideas in the works. Just how long can one do without sleep? LOL!
