Today is Lucy's third birthday. I can't believe she's been with us nearly three years. She is such a delightful little dog and is so laid back. Wow, and does she love kids!

I love antique quilts. To look at. Not so much to quilt. There's usually some kind of issue or wonkiness within the quilt as a whole. This one has a lot of seaming threads, and I've found a variety of stains or substances in here, and I've already mentioned the border situation in yesterdays post...

There are a few others I've encountered throughout what's been done so far, but they aren't as noticeable as these two (so far). I got a back loaded for the next project on Bernie and did some of the background fill on Foster for the Yoder Sisters.
I did get all those orphan half-square triangles put into rows (14 rows of 14) since I had 200 blocks total. I have four extra in case they don't line up right on the design wall at retreat in a few weeks.
Not working today (even though Jim is) on DW but I am working on Foster to get the "foundation" quilt done before being able to work the Yoder Sisters appliqué.
I've also found a small project I want to work on sometime this weekend, but don't know if I'll get to that or not. I may just put aside the Yoder Sisters to do that since I can't get it off my stinkin' mind. It's my day, so I get to choose, right?
