What I did on my vacation...

Do you remember back in school when you had to write a report about what you did on summer vacation? Well, here is my report...


I started my week sick for a couple days. Then I had to go for an MRI on my neck and shoulder. I have been having problems with a pain in my shoulder for a few months and finally dragged myself to the doctor to get it checked out. The brief summary is that I have some problems with my neck starting with a bulging disc. I'll find out the rest when I go to the neck doc on the 8th. Later in the week my asthma flared up and felt sluggish for the rest of the week. So much for a restful vacation. Anywho, I did get a few things accomplished:

 

I quilted up the pink DNP quilt and finished up a Viking hat. I have a group of ladies that have buying Viking hats from me for a bit now. Each time a new baby arrives where they work, they buy them a new hat. I decided to send them this quilt as a thank you for being such loyal customers.  I haven't heard from them yet, but I hope they like it. I'm sure the new Grandma will love it, who wouldn't?

I used a piece of purple fabric that was sent to me as a RAOK a few months back. I also used that same purple as the binding. I use purple thread to quilt it in a meandering wander to tie it all together. I kind of hated to see this one go but it will be wonderful for a new little baby girl.

I've seen a few blogs where people used chairs to take pictures of their quilts and I love it. Just had to try it out with this quilt. Kind of fun :)

I also finished up my Fall table topper. I really love the way this one looks on the table. It looks great with the wood. I didn't finish the turkey for it yet though. It will have to be for next Thanksgiving I guess. No worries.

I'll show you some more of what I finished tomorrow.
