Happy Belated Independence Day!

Hi! I hope everyone had a great 4th of July. Even though it fell in the middle of the week. Don't you hate that? It just goofs everything up. I kept thinking it was Saturday.
We had a picnic in our backyard. Hubby's family came, along with several good friends. We grilled out, played horseshoes, shot off some fireworks after it got dark. Fun was had by all.

Today Mark had a deck to paint so he got up and went off to work and I started on the party cleanup that didn't get done last nite. It was mostly just clutter and a few dishes, and I should have been working in the studio, but I hated the thought of leaving the cleanup till the end of the day because I knew I wouldn't want to deal with it. One of the pitfalls of being self-employed AND working at HOME. Distractions are everywhere. Oh, well. So now it's done and I can relax for a bit. Go to bed early, get in a full day of quilting tomorrow.

Here's a picture of a quilt that I finished this past week.

The lady wanted "something circular". Right away, I thought of bullseyes. The quilting pattern was made with the circle attachment that came with my machine (a Proto Stitch Wizard). It took lots of time, and many starts and stops but I am really excited about how it came out. And Gerda, my client, LOVED it which made me very happy.

That's it for today. Til' next time...

piecin' love,
