On Tuesday the kids went back to school, although there was a 2 hour Late Start for pretty much every school district in the southern half of the state. I think they were glad to be back in school. Too many days cooped up in the house was causing everyone - even the dog - to feel a bit cranky. Grandma too!
It's time to begin adding the borders to my 2023 Saturday Sampler. There is a narrow black border, and then a pieced border using these units.
And it's a completed flimsy, right before time to pick the kids up from school. The solid border sections were actually supposed to be in the center of each side, with thimbles appliqued onto them. I had already decided not to do those thimbles, and then decided to put the plain sections on opposite corners instead.
Final steps before quilting will be to do a bit of embroidery on this. There is a thread swirling from the bottom spools up toward the needle. That will need to wait until I'm home again.

Kids can get stir crazy really quickly. Schools were out here yesterday, the side roads are still pretty slick and it's too cold for the kids to be at the bus stops. Since we don't get as cold here, it's surprising how many children don't have anything but light jackets, heavy coats aren't common. Oooh pretty borders on your Saturday sampler quilt. Very bright!
how much longer are you taking care of the grandkids? I bet you are glad they are back in school - I would be ready to go home by now myself LOL
Woohoo for the return to school! Your Saturday Sampler is such a fun quilt. I love how you did the border. Great finish!
I like your border on that quilt! Glad the kids went to school, they always like a routine and with the Holiday in there it made for a loooong weekend for all:)
Some quiet sewing time was needed for Gma:) Me too, yesterday and a bit today felt great! Your flimsy is so cute!
