A new week already! And almost a new month!
Last week on Tuesday I took my sewing machine in for a spa treatment - AKA deep cleaning and tune up. The shop told me they were about 2 weeks out and they would call me when it was ready. That was fine because my smaller machine is a good backup. However, Friday morning they called and said my machine was ready to pick up. Really - only 3 days? Awesome! I hit the road to pick it up.
On my way out of town, in the rain, I stopped at my local quilt shop with the Beehive quilt top in my hands to see if they had a good green for a border because I want this baby quilt top finished. I bought enough of that bottom green fabric. Then, while in Sioux Falls, I just HAD to stop into at least one quilt shop. And I saw another green that was a possibility, so I picked up a yard of that one too. Once I got home I realized that first green fabric will work even better with the wine bottle print (from the Big Grey Tote) to make pillowcases or bags, and that second green will border the baby quilt. I'm so glad I bought both green fabrics. The wine bottle print was found in the tote this week as I was digging, and since there was over a yard I had
Saturday morning before leaving for our granddaughter's swim meet, I decided to work on the Big Grey Tote project for awhile. Every week that tote is getting more empty! Yay! This gallon size bag was in there with everything I must have felt was needed to finish up the project - extra fabrics, extra embellishments, even fusible interfacing.
