So glad tomorrow is Friday

No sewing this week and that stinks! I got some great thread on Sunday and cannot wait to give my Amish 9-patch a modern twist and yesterday my Smoke YLI thread awaited my return from work and I want to get my friends Miranda bag done this weekend. She chose the beautiful fabrics from the Moda Shangri-La line and I didn't want to take away from the fabric design with the quilting so I decided to quilt with the smoke filament. Plus there is my Booty quilt to add the borders to and the ALQS to design. I think since that one is not due until July I might go with an Applique design-just a thought.
I am grateful that tomorrow is Friday and this busy, crazy week will be done!
Saturday is a local Amish school fundraising auction-I am so excited-there are over 200 quilts to be auctioned! I love watching how much they go for!

Beautiful huh? What a nice surprise while I was outside chasing the dog on this balmy central PA evening.
Work today was long, this headcold is refusing to go away-I may have to relent and admit it may be allergies versus a cold. I have felt like doing nothing after work. Which is really bad because I have a Miranda bag that I need to finish as a gift, two Amish 9-patch wall hangings to quilt and bind and 2 charm packs of Shangri-La to play with...I think I want to do the disappearing 9-patch with some of my charms only not at 4". The great part of the day was having 2 quilting magazines in my share of the mail! Quiltmaker and Fons & Porter. Quiltmaker showcased a quilt and a machine quilter from my hometown of Watertown NY-how neat!
