Time

Went to Sweet Home Quilts in Conyers today. It's Melisa's fault I bought the new Portugal bundle...yes it is her fault, no questions about it! I am deciding between 2 patterns for these wonderful fabrics. I also bought some batting for projects I need to quilt...just need the time.

I worked today on a couple of quilt projects. One was 'Twas the Night Before pattern by Crabapple Hill. I "cut" my borders and lining fabric for the embroidery, traced border 1 and 2 and hand basted these 2 borders to the lining fabric. I have never embroidered thru 2 fabrics for a quilt...something new to try. I bought the kit from Homestead Hearth online.I also worked on a jelly roll I bought from Melisa...yes that Melisa makes you spend money!! Too many wonderful fabrics and so close! It is from Moda Fabrics also...Winter Jelly Roll by Minnick & Simpson. I just had to buy a new jelly roll book to make a quilt with the jelly roll I was going to purchase...Right?
I am currently listening to a children's fantasy book called Endymion Spring by Matthew Skelton and must say I really like it. It has two storylines going right now...a past and a present that is connected to a book with no writing in it...or so we think.
My summer is winding down because I notice I do not have many "free" days left. Granted some of them are going to be at Stitch In (my first ever), but time is slipping away for all those things I had planned to do...such is life.
