Ernestine is bare; I put all the Pinwheels under the needle for the last time. I may find a few that need repairs as I sliver trim the ones that I finished today. I also finished all the Drunkard's Path blocks and I will start putting those together tonight in my before bedtime sewing. I ironed them yesterday.

The pink is the back for Log Cabin Heart. I finished that this morning, this has been a week of finishing things. Those rolls in the tub that look like toilet paper are actually rolls of pink fabric in various shades. I had a tub full of them and I have used them for a lot of backs. I bought them from Goodwill, I think they are ends off of rolls of fabric hospital linens were made of. I didn't pay very much and they have been useful for a lot of things. I wish I could find some more of them, but in different colors.

Next week during the week I will piece more backs so that when payday gets here and I can get batting, I will be ready to baste quilts the week after that. I will get six ready, but I am not sure if I will have enough pins for six big quilts. Also I will work on writing the pattern for Log Cabin Heart.

All in all I feel I have earned my afternoon's coffee with my feet up and my hand sewing.
