I slept badly last night, for some reason my CPAP wasn't working and I couldn't breathe. The upshot was I was awake by 8 this morning and I got up and got busy; usually I'm starting work about ten-thirty, after my coffee and checking my email. I have 5 tops that I want to get backs made for. I finished 3 this morning. So with the one I did yesterday making four I only have one more back to make. Then I will clean out my upstairs sewing corner.

You think it needs it? First assistant Happy was seriously annoyed that she couldn't get into her favorite spot behind the machine. She unthreaded the other one 5 times this morning as I was sewing.

Here you can see her "holding" the thread for me.

Tomorrow, if I have time, I will finish the last back and start putting stuff away. I used so much fabric that I had set aside for backs that I could move it into a smaller tub and use the big tub to put the unfinished quilts into while they are waiting their turn to be quilted. I found several small projects in the tub, and I will spend a morning finishing them up. After that, for the rest of the week, I will try to finish the Log Cabin Heart blocks. They would go fast if I didn't get distracted on other things.

For this afternoon I will work on some Pinwheel blocks on Ernestine, I am averaging about 4 dozen a day, but half the work is already done. I will probably have a lot more that one quilt each pattern, I don't have to quilt them all at the same time though. I know they will turn into UFOs. My focus is on the older UFOs right now. I have some tops up in the attic that I finished before we left Vashon in 1998. I don't know how many, but a lot. I will quilt one pattern each of the new ones and let the rest wait until after the ones in the attic are done.

After the 5 upstairs are quilted that is. Oh boy!!
