A week off..
Schools out for "spring break". I must say that many people needed this break due to the "snow make up days" being used. I have enjoyed sleeping in and just relaxing with the dogs. I did make a trip to the public library to get lots of books on tape to listen to...yes kids books. I recently finished Owl Tree by Jenny Nimmo. I liked her Charlie Bone series...creepy and mystical. The Owl Tree will be a good story for 2nd or 3rd graders....although I found it rather weird that the kids' grandmother would let them call the recluse neighbor..."the Monster".
Now on to quilting...have block 13 & 14 done as shown below. I saw Gretchen at Sweet Home (picking up the Thangles BOM that she has hooked me on) and thought I had done 13, but didn't remember where I put it. Well I find out that I didn't even do it...so I had to catch up. I am up-to-date with Sweet Home BOM and Civil War BOW.
I have been working on the bijillion small pieces to make this kit I have been working on...still sewing and sewing and sewing....I might finish it in 2015! Almost done with the Swap 4 ladies that you have been waiting on. For preliminary fabric so you can go through your stashes...It looks like 13 FQ neutrals (more beigy/taupe tone on tone), 5 FQ shirtings (need to be lighter and contrast with the neutral above.)' and 7 dark reproduction. Cutting directions will be available at the next Thimbles.

Excited to hear the preliminary report on Swap 4. Sleeping, reading, dogs - doesn't get much better than that!
