I chose the backing for Quilt #2 in my UFO project yesterday, chose thread...

Cut the binding and actually stitched the backing together. This is a 60" x 60" quilt so it's just large enough to be cumbersome. This is my least favorite part of quilting anything but a baby quilt or wall hanging. I hate doing the basting step. I don't like dealing with ironing the backing and trying to keep it smooth while I put it down somewhere and add the backing and then pin the quilt. I just don't have room. So...

I painted a clay flower pot and decoupaged some things from an old Mary Engelbreit calendar on it.

I still need some little birds or something for the back and it needs more coats of Modge Podge but there you go. Quilt sandwich avoidance at its finest.

Well, at least I did something on my project, right? Now to work on my pesky "real job". Have a good Thursday! Cheery wave!

To All My Dogs Who Have Gone On Before Me

An Important Personal Message

My dear friends - Have you noticed that the world seems to be getting more and more evil and corrupt? Have you ever wondered, assuming that Revelations is true, where we are time-wise and what will happen in the last days? At the bottom of this page, there is a 7 minute video that has no narration, just Bible facts about the sequence of events and where we might be. Of course, some of you won't think this is important, some of you might look at the video to see what the Bible does say and some of you may be offended and unfollow me. I personally believe that time is short. We are at 30 seconds to midnight. Things are coming this year that will affect the USA. Watch or not. I mean no offense. If I believe there is something to warn you about and I don't do it, I will be held accountable. I care about what happens to all of us. In love!
