I just finished quilting another block; this whole project is so much slower than I anticipated it would be. I’ll be on to a new design with my next session so I’m hopeful that will energize me. I think I’m over half done but I hate to count just in case I’m not!

I got a lot more than one block done today though. This morning I finished up a card and got it ready for the mail; it probably should have been in the mail a day or two ago but I’m hopeful it will reach its destination in time. I also finished (except for the hand stitching) a second card; there are four options as to where it will go but since I have an 80th birthday party I’m going to on Wednesday I expect it will go there. I packaged up all of my Twinkle Star baskets and got them out in the mail. Tuesday is usually my mail-out day but since that card needed to go I decided to get it all done today. After my post office trip I had to buy a new mop head for Cranberry Hall; after I dropped it off I picked up a few things at the grocery store in Cranberry.

After lunch I did a bit of clean-up on the deck. There were some pots that needed to be emptied and some old flower stalks that needed to come out. It has been so nice the past couple of days I feel like I should be out in the yard working. I got a few more pieces of my March challenge project ready for hand stitching. I hoped to get the outline drawn for my Row by Row block (for February) but when I read up on the technique I plan to use I found out I needed to wash my fabric first. Too bad I already did a load of laundry this morning so who knows how long it will be before I can move forward on it.

Time to pack up for the bee tomorrow. It will be nice to be back to my Circa 2016 quilt; it is also a Mini Meez day – I have three different things to show!
