Internet Down

Our internet was down most of the day, so I'm blogging for yesterday today. I'll blog tomorrow morning (per the usual) for what I was up to today.  

Here's what's on DW this morning...

Sandy S.'s top which is HUGE!
After loading this last night, I noticed right off the bat I'm going to struggle with some border issues...
Notice how the quilt is trying to head inwards?
This tells me a few things: 1) The quilt is not square, and 2) the borders are the culprit in why it's not square. Meaning there are going to be tucks, puckers, and a lot of starching in my future. 

While I was frame ironing the backing for this quilt, I FINALLY got to work on Joann's quilt, which has been hanging out on Bernie for like a month or better...

On Bernie WAY too long!
Here's some of the quilting detail going into the negative space...
Making some wind
While I was working on Sandy's backing and Joann's top, Jim was working on the [new] studio a little bit. He's now got it slurried and tarred. Once I was done with long arming, I built 100 flying geese for my last Sunday's project. Maybe I'll get it done before next Sunday???
Ready for the drainpipe
A busy day for both of us. I'll be edge to edging on DW today and while he's working, I'll work some more on Joanns quilt.
