Elsie & Cookie, quilt label

 

****  I was so excited yesterday about the fact that pictures in my blog actually worked, that I neglected to mention that was totally due to my friend NANCY…who found some sort of ‘help’ discussion board which indicated a potential way around the problem.  I’m crossing my fingers that this will work for more than a day or 2 (like the last one). *****

Thursday morning (1/10) I dropped off a pasta dish and a quart of soup to a woman who recently broke her leg.  She lives right around the corner from me and was very grateful to have several dinners taken care of  J.  I headed on over to pick up Jan and then we headed to quilting….it was a ZOO!!  Scrap Happy Quilters decided on the second Thursday of the month, we would break into small groups to work on a variety of things.  Some people are doing Christmas quilts (I’m in that group), some are doing a house quilt (Jan’s in that group), some UFO’s, some a snowmen quilt and a mystery quilt (Jan and I are both doing that one).  Today was the kickoff and everyone seemed very excited and happy about what they were working on.  I did paperwork when I got home in the afternoon, and towards dinnertime while Michael was napping (I’ve been making him take a long soak and a nap every afternoon, trying to get over his cold) I started to work on the binding and label for my quilt.  I had company of a sort while I was working:

I’ve never seen them actually sleeping ON each other….it was terrific.  

 I got the label stitched out and stitched on:

and all of the binding put on the wrong side of the quilt.  Hope to finish it on Friday.
