Been Busy

I now have 3 sides of the binding sewed down on “Insanity.” I hope to finish the binding within the next two days and then I will start to do the final quilting that I decided to do on the scallops.  I’m not sure how long the quilting will take but it shouldn’t take a real long time.  I still believe that I will be done by Thanksgiving.

I got a little quilting done on the Christmas quilt this morning but I have not done much on that quilt.  I need to get out my box of patterns that I have printed out for the Baltimore Bliss quilt and pick out the next block.  I had been moving a long really well on those blocks until I took the Dear Jane off of the frame – boy did that slow everything down!

This weekend I started digging up one flower bed – didn’t get a lot accomplished due to the neck issues but it is getting better so I got a little bit of yard work done.  I have one area that has gotten so thick with black-eyed Susan’s that I want to dig them up, divide them and start planting in numerous areas of the yard.  I got some dug up and they are so thick, I have no idea how many I transplanted.  Hopefully a lot of them will make it through the winter and flower in the summer.  I usually have good luck with this type of plant.

We have had a really nice November so far – temperatures are above normal in the low 70’s mainly, sun and clouds – but so nice compared to October which was so wet and drab.  Oh well, better get back to this sewing on the binding!
