Progress!

I finished the rag quilt for my coworker.  He loved it.  He made the comment that they had gone to a baby shower for a friend who received a quilt and his wife was sad they hadn't gotten one, so he was pretty excited about it and thought she would be, as well.  SCORE!  I love it when people appreciate my quilts.

The little mermaid is in time out, and I'm not sure when I'll pick her back up.  I have 2 more phrases to embroider on a book for my niece before I assemble it, but those should go rather quickly.  There's always football to watch tomorrow to suck up time while I hand stitch.

It's a very short post for now.  When I complete the book I'll have pictures of it and the finished quilt.  I did buy the fabric for my Liberty Baltimore Album quilt.  I have another baby quilt to get started on for a friend, and then I will be prepping the Liberty.  I'm contemplating purchasing the Christmas one while I'm at it, but I haven't decided.  I think I'm going to take Katie's (of Katie's Quilting Corner) idea of wrapping fabric around comic book cardboards.  I have before pictures of my space, but since it's not complete, I don't have any afters.  It's clean (sort of), but it has a long way to go before I am happy with it.  Right now I use it as storage for supplies and work in the "living room."  One perk of living alone is you don't have to worry about what others want to use the room for.

See you soon.
