This morning I got up right away and went upstairs before checking my email and posting. Hurrah!!! The painting is done in the dining room and now all we have to do is the floor. Can't wait to get my sewing corner back and clean up the mess. I'll be able to get the Viking back up and running and get some clothes projects done that I have had cut out since last spring. I have been making patterns to make a machine embroidered Jacobean style bedspread because I have always been fascinated with the old English crewel patterns. It's been fun but I am ready to start the project soon. Hopefully I will be able to find some fabric that I have in mind on payday.
I finished the love ring top this morning. Somehow I managed to get 13 rows of 15 in stead of 14 rows of 14. It looks ok though. I took a picture of it on the couch, but I left the camera upstairs again.
Yesterday I got the bed room done and finished the pineapple blocks, now all I have to do is join them together, and two more tops will be added to the tub in the attic, unless i have to find another tub. Tomorrow I will put the Allietare top and the Love Ring top up there until it is warm enough to set up the quilting frame on the back porch. I have a couple of dozen tops up there because I can piece faster than I can quilt, but I hope to catch up this summer since I won't be gone a large portion of it.
I will add a bunch of pictures when I remember to bring the camera downstairs again. Today I am going to tackle our little sitting room so that we can actually sit in it if and when we get a chair. Catch you later.
