Quiltathon Report for the Day

Do any of you ever accomplish as much as you think you can?  When I go on a trip and take socks to knit, I take enough yarn to keep me busy for a month . . even if I’m only gone for a week.  When I go to Louisiana for a week and can spend almost the entire week sewing, I’ll take 10 projects and maybe (that’s a BIG maybe!) complete one of them.

Same with today.  I had hoped to finish quilting my top and get the binding sewn on!  Here’s what I did do:

  • Finished adding the borders to the top I was working on.
  • Quilted a customer’s quilt that was already loaded.  It was a plain meander.
  • Washed the backing for my quilt and got it all loaded.
  • Got half of it quilted.

The best thing I did today was make Pioneer Woman’s Apple Dumplings!  Easy and soooo good!  In fact, I’m waiting for Vince to go to bed so I can eat another one without him reminding me of my diet!

My plans for tomorrow are:

  • Finish quilting my quilt.
  • Make the binding.
  • Attach the binding by machine.
  • Make a hanging sleeve.
  • Load it all up into one of my storage bags, along with thread, needle and thimbles and take it to Louisiana with me so I can work on the handwork there.

I’m so happy with the turnout for the Quiltathon!  Thanks to everyone who joined in.
