I think I’ve caught you up on my entertainment from the past week. Without internet on Texada (and because I do a lot of reading when I’m over there) it means all the updates have to wait until I’m at home.

Last night, after the parcels were wrapped, I almost finished another project I’ve been working on. I’m not sure yet whether I’m happy with it but it was destined for me so I guess it doesn’t matter too much. I hope to finish it off later this afternoon and then I’ll know for sure.

I spent the morning deep cleaning the living room – washing all around the windows and the sills, pulling all the rugs out and vacuuming them, dust mopping the floor and then putting everything back. Well not everything; since several of the coffee tables and lamps have to be moved out when we set up for the house concert I decided to put them in the closet today rather than wait until Sunday when we set up the chairs.

After lunch I went up to the post office with my mail and then stopped at the thrift store. I needed an extra set of needles for my knitting project; I think I gave most of my duplicates to Emma when she was here this summer. I made one last stop at the fabric shop to pick up the last of the fabric for the Guild challenge. Deb was holding the remainder of the bolt for me and it didn’t seem fair that she went without payment. I still have some challenges ready to purchase; if I don’t run out I can always use the fabric I have purchased for something else.

Once I was home I decided it was time to get a quilt sandwiched. I haven’t tried my new table for sandwiching a larger piece and the sun was shining so I thought it would be a good day to get at it. Before I got waylaid by this computer, I found and cut some backing and the batting. I’ll take my ironing board and iron downstairs so they are handy to the table where I’ll be doing my spray basting.

It’s movie night tonight so I’d better get that sandwiching done.
