Friday night I finished the quilting on this bad boy. Whew!
I'm pretty pleased with how it looks. Now I need to work on the binding. But that's going to have to wait for a couple of weeks. I've got a bit too much to do to get ready for the Maryland S&W. I finally (2-3 weeks late) planted my tomato seeds and the little buggers have germinated already. I only planted them on Friday and as of this morning, they'd sprouted. Now I need prepare the beds my potatoes are going to go in and get them in the ground. That means a trip to Lowe's for some compost and an hour or two to work the compost into the beds and then plant my spuds.
Speaking of Maryland, every time I check the long-range forecast, it looks better. They're saying no rain Thursday, Friday and Saturday with the highest temperature at 70F. Perfect Festival weather. Of course it's supposed to rain on Sunday but you can't have everything. For the most part, though, it's going to be gorgeous. So far, anyway. NOTE: I just checked and now they're saying sunny Friday, Saturday AND Sunday. Woot!
I had a great time at our Spin-in on Saturday. Spun for the first time in a couple of months - some lovely BFL and silk roving. It felt good. Sorry, I didn't take a pic.
How was your weekend?
I had to work Saturday, but got to spend Sunday working in my garden. Got some weeding done, but have tons more to do...
I'm keeping my fingers crossed you'll have perfect weather for the festival!
