Time marches on

Sometimes it seems to be marching double-time. Hubby and I drove to the big city last Thursday to celebrate with College Girl. She turned 21 yesterday. TWENTY ONE!!! We would have loved to celebrate on her actual birthday but that was not to be. We visited my sister and her family. We stayed with great friends, more great friends came to help celebrate. We ate good food, we shopped, we got pedicures, we laughed, we hugged, we celebrated. It was great to see her and look forward to having her at home for a few days for Thanksgiving.



I did not sleep even one second of the 12 hours in the car. Instead hubby and I listened to "Home to Holly Springs" by Jan Karon and I worked on the binding for this;

Origins by Basic Grey for Moda

Scruffily Quilt

Close up of the scrappy pieced binding.

I used the Fat Quarter bundle for this so I could cut the largest squares bigger than a 10" layer cake. I needed the finished quilt to be closer to 60" square. I'm pretty sure that I am now retiring this pattern unless asked specifically to use it again. I'm ready to move on to something else. Something new! I'm linking this finish to amylouwho's sew & tell Friday. I go to her site to look at so many beautiful projects and finally have one to add!

Today I've been working with Moda's Fruitcake line, also by Basic Grey, for a table runner. I hope to have some pictures of that soon.

Praise - for the blessing that College Girl has been in my life. She is such a beautiful, Godly young woman.

Prayers - that College Girl would continue to seek God's will for her life. Also for her West E test this weekend.
