I
did get some time in the sewing room last week, but not enough to
complete the Star Island quilt. I finished stitching the last few
blocks, arranged them on my design board and sewed the quilt top.
The layers are now sandwiched and pinned, ready for quilting. Tomorrow I'll choose a quilting design and thread color. Final photos and
details will come next Monday.
Camping
for two weeks is wonderful, but there's a little work involved
afterward to get back to normal. Unloading food, gear, clothes, and
supplies takes longer at the end of the season since anything that
might freeze has to come in. The camper got a thorough cleaning inside
and out, then winterized for storage.
What
else kept me busy? Two weeks worth of laundry. Putting away all the
stuff we unloaded. The cupboard was nearly bare, so grocery shopping
was necessary. (I put that off as long as possible; it is not my
favorite activity.) Routine household chores.
Sometimes
daily life gets in the way of quilting.
