I finally had a good, productive weekend.  I still have some residual sinus issues from the cold(s) but I’m feeling better.

I’m finally back in the guest house trying to get the painting wrapped up.  I got the new shades hung in the bedroom and did some prep work in the front room. I’ll finally get on to trim painting today.

During football games I made some more progress on this blanket. I’m really tempted by a sale at Premier Yarns but I’m resisting so far.

The biggest accomplishment for the weekend was getting 2 more veterans quilts quilted. I think this first one was made by Sharon.

I think Brenda might have added the second border to bring it up to size. To me it has a very comforting aura to it.

I don’t know who made this next one but my money is on Margaret.  She is so creative with her designs and fabrics. This one just makes me feel happy.

I think the modified Baptist Fan quilting motif works well on both of these.

Today I’ll be caulking and painting.  If I get all of the trim painted, I’ll be thrilled. I’m listening to Lonesome Dove so I’ll have great company. If I get it done I might reward myself with some yarn….
