So I got the quilt back with the sashings and borders quilted and now I'm hand quilting the blocks. Like sewing through plywood. I don't recommend it (LOL). She didn't charge me for the quilting she did, so I can't complain about that. Needless to say, I will NEVER do another t-shirt quilt!! :|

Nothing. I have four projects that need to be finished for Christmas but, my house is so nasty I have to clean it and with our son staying here now it is hard to get in my room to sew because he sleeps in there and watches TV in there. He says I do not bother him but, I do not have the heart to telll him that he is in my way.lol

I added some more repro civil war blues to my stash from yesterday's shopping at Lolly's in Shipshewanna Indiana. It was great fun shopping with my sewing pals. I may start cutting the fabrics as soon as I decide what pattern I will be using for the quilt but I need to finish a quilt I am making for my neice. I just hope I get time to sew!
