Between last night and today — it was a rainy day what can I say – I got done with 4 blocks and the two triangles on the end
of Row H. I have 5 rows of blocks left to quilt and the bottom border!! The end is just
about in sight how great is that. Like I say it was a rainy day today. I thought it was supposed to start out nice but shortly after we woke up this morning it was thundering outside and before you know it the rain started and it continued off and on all day. So I quilted and worked on the appliqued on the 3 rd Christmas border – which I must say is coming along nicely one or two more days and I will be finished with the 3rd border. It depends on how nice of a day tomorrow is. ( I even managed to squeeze in a quick trip to Wal-Mart for cold medicines for hubby and read part of a book).
Mike is dealing with a summer cold so depending on how he is feeling tomorrow will determine if we work on the patio some more or work on other things in the house or outside of the house that need attention. It is not supposed to rain so that should not be a factor. Seeing as he was not feeling the greatest today it was nice that it was raining today.
I think I will let “Insanity” rest a day or two and concentrate on this 3rd border for the Christmas quilt and get that one done – then it will be one border left to applique and then sew the borders onto the body of the quilt. It will be nice to have one more top finished although it really means I will need to get busy and get more quilting done.
I really need to get back to work on “Insanity Revisited” also. I have not touched the blocks in quite sometime. I’m not even sure what row I left off on – maybe row 7? I’m not sure. Maybe I will take that one along with us on our next trip to work on. If it is the only thing I bring along I should be able to accomplish at least a little bit although I have learned from experience that I do not work on my quilting near as much as I should when traveling. We just get too busy seeing things and hiking and I do not spend much time on sewing. I don’t have room in the motorhome for quilting unless it would be a small quilt with my 14 inch hoop — but I really need to get back to work on those blocks!
