Yesterday Was A Good Day!

The blue looks so dark - almost black in this photo.

Look at the progress I have made on my Stars & Nines quilt - I am very happy! I made the 9 patches earlier in the day yesterday and in the evening I joined up with Bonnie Hunter and her quilt cam, along with many other quilters, and while I watched and listened I made some star blocks. I do like it so far, even though the blocks look quite big to my eye. I designed this quilt with plain borders but that may change as I get closer to seeing the blocks all finished and sewn together. It may or may not call out to me for a different border treatment - we will see how that goes.

It was a lot of fun sewing along with Bonnie, but I fear that she will not get very much done during her broadcasts and her productivity will go kaput. She has so many people joining in that it really is a huge quilting bee. Thank you Bonnie - it is so much fun!!

Sunday's are usually one of my busiest days for getting stuff done around the house in anticipation of the new work week. I usually bake a loaf bread, get laundry done, and take care of as many things as I can to lessen the burden during the week. But....today, I think I will just take another day off and just do the minimum that I can get away with. I plan to go back into my sewing room and have another relaxing day to myself, well as much to myself as possible while still house-training a sweet but saucy little puppy!
