Sandy D's quilt done, furry kids, list finished

It was overcast and windy Saturday morning (9/15) with intermittent rain.  

We had a bit of breakfast, then I headed once again to my studio.  First up was totally finishing Sandy’s quilt....the amount of pieces in this quilt is just mind boggling to me...check out the 9 patch HST blocks which make up the border in the second picture:  

Next was the binding for Rainbow Blockhead:  

I started to apply it, stopping for the perfect grilled cheese for a late lunch: 

and by the time I joined Michael at 7:30, the binding was applied on one side of the quilt!  

I had company in the afternoon (Michael doing his emails and everyone else sleeping...or getting ready to!):

and it was a dark, but productive and peaceful day.  I also re-worked a label for Barb as she decided the original one was too hard to read:

Michael made popcorn and we watched INSIDE OUT….a wonderful and funny movie, before heading to bed.

Here’s my list (for the last time…I’d call it a good week):

-sandy’s quilt     (all rows done)

-barb’s quilt label       (done)

-towels for Michael’s cast gifts (all 10 done!)

-homework for Thursday’s SHQ retreat (postponed)

-label & binding for Rainbow Blockhead (done)

-find pattern for wrapped package baby quilt  (done)

And yet again, what an incredible piece from Joy the Baker (http://joythebaker.com/2018/09/let-it-be-sunday-189/) on the real message of 9/11, with a hard truth: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/10/opinion/911-lessons-veteran.html
