My Weekend

Well it is 5:00 on Sunday afternoon. I am always sad when my weekend begins to wind down. Back to work tomorrow. My day has been spent grocery shopping, cleaning, doing laundry and finally cooking supper. Everything except for the laundry is finished up now. This evening I will spend a little time sewing.

I have not been able to take good outdoor pictures of my finished rail fence quilt, it has rained or been cloudy all week. In the meantime I have been working on this little coin quilt. It is not my usual color palette but I do like it. The "coins" were a scrap bag of fabric that I purchased online recently. The fabric line is "Succulence" by Art Gallery Fabric. I have never used Art Gallery Fabric before but OH MY. It is lovely. Very soft and silky and does not ravel hardly at all. I ordered some yardage to supplement for the sashings and border. Also the kitten blocks are from a different line called "Tiger Lily" by Windham fabrics. I think they are so cute, but I am a cat lover after all.

Close up of the cute kitty block. Love.

This week promises to be a busy one. I need to go see my parents. I haven't seen them since Mothers Day. I live about an hour away. I will try to go Tuesday, that is my short day at work. I also received a message from my long armer, he has a quilt ready for me to pick up. I am anxious to see how it turned out. I am very unsure of my thread color and pantograph choices. So I will need to get over to Sager Creek Quilt Shop and get that picked up.

Hope everyone has had a fun and blessed weekend!
