As per my post yesterday I’m trying something new for circulating my Journal. I’ve either heard from you that you want to get my posts via e-mail or you were on a previous list when I still had automated messaging. If you would prefer not to receive these postings by e-mail please let me know; no judgement if you decide not to. All posts will still be on my website.

I’ve spent another day quilting my Secret Santa project. The section of did today took much longer than I expected but it is finished now. I’ve trimmed the quilt and I think I’ll have time to cut the binding before supper. My goal is to have it ready for hand stitching during the Song Circle tomorrow afternoon.

Just when I thought I was finished with my cross stitch quilt blocks I decided to outline them with a backstitch. I lost my needle somewhere between the last stitch in my sampler and yesterday when I decided to do the outline. I’ve tried a couple of different needles since but haven’t found one I’m happy with. Fortunately this afternoon I remembered where I stashed all my needles; hopefully I can find one I like.

I had a notice from the library that they have another book ready for me. The book I’m reading now is an inter-library loan and can’t be renewed; I have it until the 29th. As this new book is also an inter-library loan I won’t pick it up until the last day so that I’ll have enough time to read it.

I finished another ball of yarn last night on my afghan; just four more to go. I hope it finishes big enough but at whatever size it finishes that it the size it will remain.
