A Day of Rest

We are taught, from a very young age, all things enjoyed are great in moderation. While I am so very passionate about quilting, Sunday afternoon is a day away from the studio and all things quilting. I don't want to EVER hate my passion so I make myself stay out of there all afternoon and evening on Sundays. 

But in the morning I made the second to the last block in the Alaska top... 

Bear Paw
The last block is in progress, but the author of this quilt has a few blocks as 3D blocks, and I'm choosing to not do that. I'm going to raw-edge the two blocks that have the 3D part written in and the last block is the first of the two. There is some piecing that occurs first and then the 3D part is introduced. 

After the last block is done, most all of the other blocks have an appliqué that is added. This will be my next step in working on this. 

Now that we are returning back to our regularly scheduled programming, here's what's going to be happening in the studio this week. It's kind of like that game show Lets Make a Deal. On long arm number one we have this top...

For a lucky granddaughter for the holiday
On long arm number two we have this Sue Spargo top...

A wooly!
And on long arm number three we have this Judy Niemeyer top...

For a Daughter-in-law for Christmas
So...this is my week. Actually, I'll be working on the sheep this morning and afternoon. I'll start on the Judy on DW this evening. And I'll be bouncing between the two during the next two days. At least, that's my plan. I have one customer coming to pick up later this afternoon so business as usual.
