Working my way Through

Christine's quilt is about 1/3 of the way done. Jim got me a pair of AirPods for our anniversary and I gotta tell ya, they're great! Andrew called last night and we talked for about 40 minutes. While I was working. I've never been able to do that before because: 1) The machines are too loud and 2) It was very difficult to hold the phone in the crook of my neck while talking. 

The AirPods have noise cancelling and he couldn't hear a thing from the machines. Of course, I was on Marty, who is nearly whisper quiet anyway, but it was good to know if I'm ever on DW, people can still hear me.

I'll be working on Christines quilt all day today. Don't know if you can see anything in this pic or not...

A little of the border treatment

The one bummer about the Benina machines is there is no sidelight. It's hard to get pics of the quilting without it so I'm going to have to think of something else to illuminate what I'm doing in the quilts. 

While I was on the phone with Andrew, Jim was on a Webinar about our lake. Looks like we are about a year from getting it back. While the dam will be done at mid to late summer, the rains will have abated and our fill will be minimal. And then we have winter lake levels that won't allow them to fully fill until next spring. But there is going to be building progress as soon as funding clears in the next month.
