So I haven’t posted in quite a while. Weeks. Make it months. Today, consider me back in action. I have a few different things to catch up on with you, too. First off…
One of my closest friends, Lezlie, had her first baby last October. And about 8 months before she had him, we decided to make a quilt together so I could share the process of her pregnancy with her. (She lives an hour away, so without good planning, we don’t see each other at all!) Great idea. Trouble is, we still haven’t finished the quilt and I’m leaving the country in 11 short days. So last week, I traveled up to the old stomping ground to finish the quilt. Or so I thought. We only have the binding left to do, and how hard can that be? Pretty hard, or at least time consuming when you DON’T HAVE A SEWING MACHINE! I think Lezlie planned it, though there’s no proof. We ended up borrowing a very old and somewhat persnickety Singer. And we had almost no luck. There is proof of that. And here are the pictures. We’ve got one last chance to finish it, as we only overlap being in the same state and without prior commitments for 1 day! Good luck, girls.

I’ll be back later today with more good stuff. Just you wait…
