It did not rain today – so far that is, maybe tonight from the way I hear it. The sun struggled so hard to come out today and it managed to break through the cloudy sky for a minute or two – just long enough for me to get the sun glasses out of my purse – and then it disappeared! It did get up to 63 today though and without it raining I decided to take a much needed walk outside – not inside a building going round in circles. The forecast does say that starting by the weekend we will have about 5 sunny days in a row – I will believe it when I see it – but we are due. We need to some sun to dry up all this water that is sitting around. I have no idea if we will be able to do any work outside again this weekend unless some of this water dries up! I haven’t even ventured to certain parts of the yard where I can still see standing water!! I’m afraid I would sink to the top of my shoes at least!
Last night I got done quilting row 13 on my Dear Jane “Insanity“ that leaves only one border left to quilt. I am about to wear a hole in one of my fingers though so I think I will not quilt tonight and take a break and start fresh on it Thursday evening perhaps.
Row 13 blocks 13 & 12
row 13 border triangles
my scarf is growing! It really is coming along nicely. I think I have this knit stitch down really well.
I got one more Dear Jane block pieced for my "Insanity Revisited" quilt. Now that I am getting back into it I am making progress. I will get another block prepped tonight. This is block 4 on row 8 (H)
Mike has been working a lot of evenings lately so I have the entire evenings to myself – that is one reason for moving along pretty well on all of these projects. Tonight I need to look over the fabric left over from the Christmas Baltimore Album and see what I have for the backing fabric. I might have to order something for it and if that is the case I want to do that soon. The Dear Jane quilt should not be on the frame for much more than a week to 10 days and it will be done! I can hardly imagine being done with it. It has been a part of my life for almost 5 years!!
This morning before working on anything else I got the 4th Baltimore Bliss block prepped and ready to go other than making 8 circles – 4 of two different sizes. Once that is done and glue basted in place I can start stitching it.
