More Circles

by Karen on January 21, 2012

in Farmer's Wife, Joseph's Coat--Morning Glory, quilts

I’m sure y’all are getting sick of Joseph’s Coat (yes I am keeping that name for the quilt for now) – but I really have not worked on much else recently.  I got a lot of circles prepped last night and this morning and last evening I sat for about 2 hours stitching!  I have 14 more circles to prep for this section of the quilt top that is done – that feels great!!  After I get those attached I will get back to work on more rows so there will be changes coming up.

This is the only area left that needs circles on it.

I think I will get the remaining circles done this weekend, next week is kind of up in the air on what I will get done.  My mom is having surgery on Monday and will be in the hospital for a night or two then home.  I will be there on Monday and then maybe on Wednesday and Thursday.  We are kind of playing it by ear right now as to how much care she will need after surgery.  She might surprise us all and be just fine.  If she needs me to stay with her for a day or  two day I intend to bring the Farmer’s Wife quilt with me to work on.  I have it ready and it is easier than bringing a bunch of pieces.  I can quilt in between helping her out a little.

I hope you all have a great weekend!

Looks great all laying out there. But beware–you may run out of floor space. Prays for your mom.
