I spent almost all of Sunday on Zoom between church and a meeting, plus the pre- and post-meeting meetings. All good, but tiring. So today (Monday) was mostly a comp day with only about an hour and a half of work necessary to get a grant app in by the deadline. Someone else was doing the heavy lifting on it, so I feel very fortunate my part was low-key.
I really needed some breathing time after the events of the last week, as most of us do.
i spent the morning hand-sewing the binding on Baby Quilt #1. It is now officially a finish!
I forgot to put a label in, but I’m okay with that. The backing is the sloth fabric as that was my favorite of the collection. It’s going through the wash now so I can deliver it as germ- and dog hair- free as possible.
i debated what to work on next, but then decided I should really just bang out the finish on Baby Quilt #2 so I can deliver them both by the weekend. That one is small enough I was able to baste it right on my cutting table. I just drape towels over anything around it to protect it from the spray baste. I found a very random yard of a yellow flannel—no idea why I had it in my stash, but I decided to use that as backing. It’ll be soft and cozy. I started working on the machine quilting—just doing ditch quilting—but suddenly lost steam halfway through. Oh well. I’ll have time tomorrow after work, I think.
I had gotten a notification today from Libby that the library book I have on my Kindle is due in three days. There are too many people in line for it to renew so I decided to end my day on the patio reading. I’m at about 30% through right now. Can I make it to 50% before I have to stop to make dinner?
