Not much to show for this day. I did get two labels embroidered, one for me and one for nephew Brett’s finished quilt. The remaining time in the basement was spent on deciding fabrics for a wedding present that is coming up in August. In the recent past I have been making a quilted Christmas wall hanging for the wedding gifts as a couple will be enjoying their first Christmas as a “Mr. & Mrs.”

It is always a great morning when I can go down into the sewing studio and the project is there waiting for me to begin. Better yet is when all the fabrics came from my stashes and not from a trip to a quilt store. Where did the stashes come from? I always say a prayer of thanks to the gal that closed her quilt store here in town because she got bored and closed the fabric out at one dollar a yard. It was predominantly fabrics at the eight dollar and higher per yard. I will admit, I am lacking the bright spring colors such as rose, lavender and yellows. That concern is for some other time.
