Visiting with Family Today

My brother is up from Cincinnati. I only get to see him about twice a year meaning we're taking today off to go visit him at moms house. 

I have made exceptional progress on Sandy's quilt and worked well after quitting time. From there I blanket stitched the two grand-girls' pillow tops and then made the backing for each of them.

I made zippered backs for each of the boys' pillows. Boys naturally don't take care of their stuff so I'm assuming the pillows will be all over the house without regard to dirt. The girls' pillows are getting an envelope back so they can still take off the cover to launder. I nearly broke a needle doing the zippers for the boys and the new zips I purchased (on line) are more for heavier projects like jackets. Not pillows.

Jim's new Spartan fleece throw is getting good use and Lucy finds it very snuggly as you can see. She was watching the game with dad and I couldn't resist getting a quick pic of her in all her cuteness.
