Well, I got absolutely nothing done this last weekend.... Ended up spending the entire weekend at Mike's brother's as his truck broke down and he asked Mike to come help him. What was supposed to be a few hour job turned into a three day job (don't ever buy a Dodge!).
Yesterday I did manage to get the blue quilt on the frame rods. It's now rolled up and sitting out on the top of the deep freeze. Probably won't get to it until this weekend when I'll be able to work on it non-stop and get it done though. I wish I had a 'spare' room to set up my frame and leave it there.....
I also went shopping at Jo-Ann Fabrics and bought a whole bunch of stuff. Got more flannel for four more quilts, along with the batting I need for all of them. The plan with that is to get everything ironed out and at least sandwiched together and pinned so that once I get one quilt out of the frame another one is ready to go in right away. Along with the flannel and batting I bought some other things - a thread storage box (got tired of having spools of thread all over the place), a plastic template for making half squares, and a couple other odds and ends.
Got our taxes done last night (who hoo) and now we're just waiting for the refund. We get enough back so we should be able to get everything we need/want this year. That list includes a new washer and dryer, a new Brother sewing machine, a new welder and some tools for Mike, and paying off our tv. Will be nice to have some 'new' things for a change!
