Today was really strange. I woke up at 6am or earlier perhaps, and couldn't go back to sleep. So I sat up in bed and turned on the light and worked on the unfinished quilt at my feet. And finished. Here is a picture of the two now-matching quilts on the twin beds. Jes and Aza, come on home!
Yesterday I hung paintings, so I have a picture of those too. But what was strange was that after I finished the quilt, I went over to the studio and started to paint. I painted three watercolors. I was half asleep while doing this, you see- so afterwards I went back to bed. Woke up around noon. Yikes!
I went over to see the paintings and one turned our really cool. It's a gift for a friend so I won't post a picture of it because I don't want to give away the secret. I put it in the mail for her after I woke up at noon!
After lunch I biked to my office and worked all afternoon. It's really a nice space for working. But it doesn't have food. I'll have to carry some over there for munchies.

The quilts turned out very nice. My mil made a lot of quilts in her lifetime. We have many of her creations. My dd has taken interest in it -- learning from her future mil.
Have you made any quilts yourself?
I made one for Squirt when he was a little thing, and it was his bedspread for many years then got ratty from Frisbee sleeping on it. I made another from what my grandmother had started in the 1920s. It's a wall hanging, not too big, but special that I finished it for her after she died. I love to sew, both hand sewing and machine sewing.
Would it be possible to share pictures?
Sure. I'll have to find Squirt's quilt. It may be in the attic. Or I may have a photo I can scan. I've been looking for a place to hang the other one. Email me photos of what your J has made!
