Goals Written in Sand

It's a good thing goals are written in sand and not stone. While yesterday started out pretty well on track, a lack of paying attention on my part was the result of an entire day picking out stitches on the customer quilt being worked.

Wrong color thread in the wrong area. Note to self: Double check thread colors before even attempting to machine quilt a double backed motif. 

After picking out stitches on two 18" blocks, I finished the computer portion of the project and then turned off the machine. Yesterday (like some days can be) was not a good long arming day. Hopefully today will be better.

Vertical sashing strips were completed on the Nova Star and then I started to get in the cornerstones with their horizontal sashing strips.

While DW was stitching out the motifs on the customer quilt, I started planning for our upcoming retreat beginning on Friday. Jim's quilt, that has been sitting here in wait since April, will be completed. It's all flannel and I can't wait to get it together for him.

New customer(s) are coming today after lunch with a regular customer of mine for introductions and projects. Should be interesting.
