I need a coffee.
I've been quilting for 15 hours today, there was no time for housework or to even cook dinner so it was take away round the table tonight and I must say I enjoyed the company and the food for that short amount of time. I have satellite TV here in the studio so I learned…
Finished the quilt top.
The quilt top is finished. This is part of todays illustration. I'll pin it tomorrow, and hope to quilt it in a day. I was told this evening I need to have surgery again before I go. For Pete's sakes. Every time I travel I go with stitches in my body. This time it's my…

Quilting from the back of the quilt.
I've spent the entire day quilting, 15 hours and my neck hurts. My shoulder is sore and I'm really tired of it tonight. Its a silly thing to do really, but I have to get it done. We've all done that at some time or another I'm sure. I have a responsibility to the event,…
