More progress

I finally got the baby quilt pressed now that I have a new iron (it's a $20 Black and Decker, Dona! that I actually got for $16!). Anyway -- this quilt was done scrappy, but some of the fabrics that I picked kinda bleed into the other ones - not enough contrast in those areas. But done is good! I traced some bunny, chick and duck cookie cutter shapes in the center of the green squares and quilted those (by machine). I hope the new mom will like it for her baby boy.

Today I had a doctor's appointment and then lunch with a friend - Olive Garden soup, salad and breadsticks -- that's our diet plan! Then came home and put the label on the Nickel pinwheel quilt that is finally finished. Forgot to take a picture, so that'll have to wait til tomorrow. And then, I managed to stitch some backing together, cut some batting, press, and pin baste my next project, which is another ufo, this one called "Argyle Sox" by Kansas Troubles. Hope to get that one finished in the next week or so.

Gratitudes

1. Lunch with Deb -- we can't always get together, so it always makes our lunches more special.

2. Accomplishing more than I had planned.

3. Leftovers for dinner -- no thinking.

4. It was an absolutely beautiful midwestern 65° spring day today.
