Another weekend gone by

Managed to accomplish a few things this weekend -- well enough to cross off the to-do list anyway. Finished the baby quilt I was working on -- need to press it a little because I left it in the dryer too long. Managed to kill my iron, so have to wait to do that. I buy cheap irons -- none of them last much more than a year and I don't see the point in spending a lot of money on them. I did buy a Rowenta once and it didn't last any longer than the cheap ones. So, next week I have to buy a new iron - hopefully on sale and with my 20% off coupon from Bed, Bath & Beyond!
Finally finished quilting the pinwheel ufo from months ago. Couldn't sew the binding on because it hasn't been pressed yet (see above). vbg
Also wrote, printed and have ready to mail the final newsletter. That has been a big relief and the stress has eased somewhat.
Recommitted myself to losing weight -- I fell so far off the wagon that it went on without me!
Walk and water, walk and water!


This quilt is another I have decided to give to the kids. This was a mystery quilt designed by Deb Kauffunger at Quiltaholics.com a long time ago. The print fabric I used has all kinds of garden tools in it. This is a large table cover.

Gratitudes

1. Seeing large clumps of daffodil leaves poking through the mulch and leaves.

2. Spending an hour raking the leaves from the flower beds.

3. Taking our taxes to the accountant, finally.

4. Finishing the newsletter.

5. Finishing another audio book while sewing - so very enjoyable. (A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, and The Good Earth are both excellent books, btw.)
