cinnamon bread, new finished QoV top

HAPPY ST PATRICK's DAY!!!

Michael was up at 6 AM Monday (3/16) for golfing in Lancaster, while I followed before 7 AM.  My morning was spent making bread since there’s none in the house.  I considered making only one loaf since people are self-quarantine-ing and may not appreciate us showing up at their door, but then Michael asked if one loaf could be made into cinnamon bread….so that’s what I did:  

I rolled the second loaf of dough out flat

laved it with butter

sprinkled with cinnamon/sugar and patted it down

I read my book while waiting for it to rise and bake: 

so I didn’t make it to my studio until early afternoon.  

My goal is to get Judy’s quilt done as soon as possible, so that is what I worked on.  It is an antique quilt top, made mostly with feed sacks.  I believe she told me where she picked it up, but I don’t remember.  The blocks are not all the same size and it is very bumpy, so I had to keep a very close eye on it to prevent any pleats from sneaking into the quilting.  My honey came home around 2:30, having shot an 81 with TWO birdies!!  He spent time with me downstairs, working on his emails.  

By dinnertime Judy’s quilt was done:  

and I was happy!!  I also worked on the second binding for the QoV and by 9 PM (Michael had a lot of TV he wanted to watch by himself), it was done as well:  

Michael said this is his favorite QoV!!

Look at this beautiful mother and daughter:

And instead of indoor acitivities, they are enjoying the beautiful outdoors:
