4/10 Great progress today

I got up fairly early for a Saturday, especially since I stayed up late last night and I got right to work on the quilt. Sewed on the borders, pieced the backing, laid the backing out and the batting. I just gotta say - I LOVE THE PERSON WHO INVENTED SPRAY BASTING!!! Genius! My son hates when I use it but he wasn't home today - bonus! My hubby was sitting right by the table I was using and I suggest that he leave but he was busy working on something. He got a call a few minutes later and had to leave the house - bonus!! Weird as this may sound, I actually like the smell of the spray. I also like magic markers, old time mimeograph ink and Staz-On ink. Not that I sniff the stuff but I don't have to open all the windows and doors when I use it.
Not a great picture but it is all I have. I tried to hand the flimsy on my clothesline since it was a beautiful day but there was too much of a breeze and I could not get a picture. I tried hanging it over the deck railing and it kept blowing off.


I am ALMOST done with the middle section quilting (but I had to stop to do this post before the day was over). I am going to stipple in the outer border tomorrow and get to work on the binding.


If I can get the binding applied and have that to do while watching a show in the evenings then I can get back to my Verna quilt or the Blush table runner. It is supposed to rain all week and that is perfect weather for quilting.

Praise - hubby and I have come to an agreement on the real estate deal that we can have peace about. Thank you Lord for that!

Prayers - for the other party in the real estate deal, that they can make a decision and we can all move on - one way or another (Still this won't be until near the end of the week).
