label, yoghurt, artisan bread, deck

Michael had cereal for breakfast on Tuesday (4/11) before leaving with a big grocery shopping list.  I headed downstairs (of course!) to try to get something going on our bed quilt.  I have not been happy with any of the patterns I’ve picked, and I need to get moving as I already have another customer quilt to do right after this one!  So, I loaded up a label for a previously done quilt on my embroidery machine and finally decided to go with a basic STIPPLE pattern for quilting.  It took awhile to get the right density and get all of my bobbins wound, but I finally started quilting by NOON.  I got 4 rows done of the quilting before leaving for a 2 PM meeting on this lifestyle committee I have agreed to be on.  I also managed to stitch out one label for my "to be bound" quilts.  I've changed the label just a bit...it used to say "made with love", but I've decided to change it to "you are loved".  

Now I just have to get this quilt bound during April :~).  These quilts are going to kids who are finally getting their first beds through the BEDS = DREAMS group from Mary B's church.  When I got home around 4 PM, I finally put together Michael’s new triple berry yoghurt….black raspberries and blueberries in the bottom, and cherry jelly on top: 

and pulled out the artisan dough….I HAD to bake off a loaf to see how it turned out before my class on Wednesday…and the answer is BEAUTIFULLY!!!!  

I cut 2 quick slices for Michael and me, and then cut the loaf in 1/2 to give each 1/2 to our contractors as they left for the day :~).  We have most of the flooring down on the deck (with netting under it to keep the bugs out):  

Michael and I had a very light dinner, and settled in shortly afterwards with popcorn to binge watch NCIS:New Orleans (3 episodes in a row)!  I really don’t know where Monday and Tuesday went…I feel like I kept getting interrupted and really didn’t get anything done!
