I finished my flutter quilt yesterday so that is my quilting UFO off the list. I did a bit of the hand stitching in the morning, a bit while I waited to leave for my Thursday sewing session and a bit more yesterday evening. On my way to sewing I dropped a package in the mail (your calendar block is on the way Kathryn) and stopped at the bank to make a Hall deposit.

When I started the car I noticed that my ABS and Trac Off warning lights were showing so I worried all the way there and back that something would go terribly wrong. Pat didn’t think it was a serious enough problem that I shouldn’t be driving so I continued on. When I looked at what the warning light meant it didn’t seem too ominous so I waited until today to call the mechanic. The mechanic I use is the husband of the woman who has the wide backings for sale. I always prefer to spend my money at Deb’s but sometimes a cheque simply has to go to Ken.

I’ve been sewing all day with Stacia and Deloise. I got the borders on my Guild mystery. I didn’t have enough of any one of the fabrics that I used in the quilt but I was able to make a smaller border with two of the fabrics from the top. I don’t have anything just yet that will work for binding but I’ll worry about that when it is actually quilted.

Once that was done I made a few more blocks for my Home Circle/Circle of Nine quilt. The blocks are 15″ but they are pretty easy to make. I just have three more to do and then I can put it away until we sew at Panorama. I’ll be shopping for some background fabric when we are doing our shop hop on the way.

My back is sore again tonight – too much standing – but I should get some knitting done tonight. Pat has a couple of online events tomorrow but nothing for tonight.
