Sunday Update

Last night we took OJ to PF Change for his birthday dinner with his parents and sister. It was really fin and the food and service were wonderful as usual. The only downside was that we were a party of 11 without a reservation and had to sit on the patio unless we wanted to wait about an hour and a half. It was pretty darn hot, but still a good time.





Finished my pieced borders for the Washington Medallion today. I love the way they turned out. The blocks do not have white centers like it looks like in the picture. Those are post it notes with the block position so I can keep everything in order. Next week I hope to get the top all done!




Here is a picture of the my progress on the Hexacomb Sweater.






And one final picture, this is a bag that I made for my friend Judy. She was gracious enough to gift me her crazy quilting supplies and stash in return for my help in finishing up this little bag for her. I pretty sure I got the best end of this deal! Thanks again Judy :)

Washington Medallion Progress

I have been busily working on my my pink and brown Washington Medallion quilt. I have finally completed all of the blocks and pinwheels.


I have also cut out all the setting triangles, so now I just have to put it all together. I am pretty excited about the way it is all coming together and even have a spot to hang it all picked out.
On the knitting front, I have completed the bottom part of the back on my hexacomb sweater and started the right front. The body is knitted from the bottom up all in one piece, then I'll go back and add sleeves. I love the yarn I am working with, it is so soft and has a wonderful drape.
My Fun Friday quilt group is going on retreat in a couple of weeks, I hope to get lots of quilting done while we are there, I already have a few projects picked out to take with me.
Nathan wanted me to add a counter to my blog, so I did - so far he is not very impressed by the number of hits I get, LOL - maybe I should try posting more often.
