4/9 Squeezing in some borders

Just a quickie post so I can get back to sewing. I worked today and then went with a friend to the closest 'big' city (not really big but bigger than this town)which is about 1.5 hours away. I should have stayed home to sew but she said FABRIC STORES and she had me.

Got home way later than I had planned on, had a pizza with my hubby and then set to work. I cut 1st border strips and am sewing those on now.


I will sew the 2nd border strips on next and then will be ready to do the quilt sandwich tomorrow. I was able to find backing and binding fabrics today so that made the trip worthwhile.

I don't even know what to say about the real estate deal. The other party didn't think they had to respond by today although THEY were the ones asking for the two week extension that ended today. They wanted MORE time! The real estate agent convinced them that the extension time is up and they need to move to the next phase. Looks like another week once we go over the papers they turned in today and respond to them and then they get three days to respond. Who knows how old I will be when this is all over?? I so appreciate those of you that have said you are praying for this situation. If you aren't worn out and tired of it could you please continue to pray?? THANK YOU!

Praise - we made the trip to the big city and back safely.

Prayers - for my son's last day on the ski mountain tomorrow and for college girl's housing options for the next school year.

  1. Absolutely frustrating - the real estate and not the sewing. Hang in there. Sometimes I just wonder what God is up to, but He does know best. Hugs to you.

  6. Well you know fabric shopping takes precedence over sewing, lol - but I'm glad you found time to sew anyway. Sorry to hear about the buyers, sheesh - no, I'm not tired of hearing about it, I'm glad to pray for you!
