Quilted!

Fleurette is quilted and ready for binding. That will be today’s task.

I also dug out some other fabric bits that I’ve been saving and now I have a plan that you will see in a couple of weeks.

Yesterday I had lunch with my Mom and cousin. We meet up once a month to catch up on family happenings. Afterwards, I bought myself a new toy.

My cousin’s son works at the dealership where I bought this. I also wanted an electric chainsaw. Instead of a new one, he offered to sell me his barely used one for a great deal. I’ll get that next week. Both of these will make my life much easier in the jungle we live in.

I’m also starting to do some prep work to paint the guest house. That’s the last thing to do before we can replace carpeting. Then I can be done with expensive house things for a while.

    Nice. I love a hedge trimmer. Mine gave up the ghost after many years of use and I haven’t replaced it.

    ooooh Batik strips – that looks fun. And I knew Fleurette would look so nice with that backing and the panto.

    That was fast! The quilting design is a nice one for it.

    I have an electric hedge trimmer but I don’t use it, my son does my trimming for me. I used to be an outside dynamo, not any more. After 80 I learned to ask for help.
