This morning I went to my favorite thrift shop and got 2 big bags of fabric. After I sorted it out this is what I had left, quite a lot actually.

That gorgeous blue is earmarked for the next quilt. The picture isn't really doing it justice.
It has been dark and gloomy all day with constant T-storms and pouring rain, a visit to a thrift shop was just the ticket. All that pile of fabric cost about what a yard would somewhere else so I am happy.
I didn't sleep very well so a nap is going to be a very good use of such a dark and gloomy afternoon, the little boys will be home soon and things will get lively again. Sammy and Gramps are missing each other so much, Even though Sammy is distracted by school, he comes home and complains he didn't get to work with Gramps in the shop again.
A close up of the quilting on Tumbling Blocks I am almost at the three quarters of the way done with the quilting, and I am really liking the way it is turning out. I will be finishing it soon and then will have to start piecing the back of the next one, I haven't decided which one it will be, probably the one at the top of the tub they are in, although I am never short of choices.
David's doctor visit went very well and his heart specialist says there should be no problem with his surgery, one more thing checked off the list. All in all a pretty satisfactory morning I should say. Next up a nap. There are so many small pleasures in life!
