I have finally finished the quilt I’ve been working on. It took much longer than I thought it would but then I haven’t quilted a big quilt for so long I’m sure I’ve forgotten how long the last one took. I don’t have time to get a photo today and write up the post; that will get done later this week. In the meantime it will give me great pleasure to not only mark DONE beside my February UFO Challenge, but also take the quilt out of my general UFO listing.

I spent a lot of time at my computer today catching up on some of my own work as well as taking care of some Hall business. A friend is having an online Epicure party so I put in an order for that. It seemed like every five minutes after I settled in to stitch I thought of something else that needed to be done, a message that needed to be sent, or something that popped into my head that I was curious about and had to look up. I know it was all just a delay on the binding but it is done now and I can move on tomorrow.

I’ll be joining the Guild for a sewing session tomorrow and I’m happy that I will have something for Show and Tell. Actually I’ll have two things as I have my miniature from last week; it is already hanging and “out of sight out of mind”.

I started a new knitting project a couple of nights ago and I’m really enjoying it. I’m making an afghan, using a scarf pattern, with a variety of textured yarns – most of it is fluffy in some way so I’m hoping it will be soft. No idea how big it will be – I’ll knit until the yarn runs out. I’ve also found a new hat pattern and I have a ball of yarn that I think will be enough.
