I had a very busy morning and now I am just enjoying having my feet up. I got three quilt tops basted, yippie! I have done up to five in a day but it is just too exhausting. Now that I have a lot of my tops quilted I don't need to do as many at once. I still have a tub of tops that need quilting but that's a lot better than the three or four tubs of them that I have had in the past. The goal is to quilt more tops than I am making, maybe I will get there.

Anyway these are the three I did today.

 Dear Jane (surprise, surprise!)

 Al Beasley's Ties, I was going to hand quilt this one, but that's never going to happen. There is a lot of hand embroidery on this one, but I don't do that anymore either. This is a very old UFO and I have been trying to figure out how old and I would say 30 plus years, maybe more because I just can't remember when I started it.

This one has no name, it's a "bar" quilt. I made some bias pieced binding for another quilt and made way too much, I tend to get carried away and it was so much fun. The blue fabric was on a roll, about 50 yards but only about six inches wide. I still have some of it. This quilt does not lie flat, but I am going to just do the best that I can and call it good. I'll be able to do some creative quilting on this one!

So that sums up my morning and I am so glad to be able to relax with my knitting. Tomorrow I have to get the first of the hat and scarf sets wrapped up to be mailed as presents to one of my little families out in Washington. They won't be able to use them until next fall, but we also have Lego sets to send them. They will be mailed on Friday and I want them to be ready for David to take when he goes to do the payday business.

But for now, I intend to have a second cup of coffee. Rare for me but such a treat, and I feel I have earned it!
