Finally finished all of the quilting on my Swoon king sized quilt, and now for what will be days or should I say evenings of hand binding. This will be the first quilt finished for 2014. We have been blasted by extremely cold weather, and a little bit of snow. It would be great if I didn't have to go to work in the stuff!! Looking forward to retirement in 3 years!!!

Monday morning blues!! Had a great time with 3 of the 8 grandchildren yesterday, but spent most of my weekend grading papers and cleaning house. Now for the big new year's resolution. Learn how to use my new quilting machine to its' fullest!!! potential. Finished the top, and piecing the bottom  of the Swoon quilt, and it is now loaded and awaiting my thread order!!! UGH!!! Why didn't I order white before????? Guess I like colors better!! Oh well, it will be here soon enough. Oh and by the way, thank you my dear husband, David, for helping me clean this weekend!!!!

Well, it is Sunday, and the last day off from work!! But wow, what changes I have made. I have finished the Swoon top, it is 110 by 110 inches, so now to enlarge a backing in order to quilt it. I have joined another quilt group, and signed up for a class already!!!
The only down side, my sinuses just won't behave, and now my eyes are all yucked up too!!! Oh well, guess I should quarantine myself in my sewing room!!
Happy New Year to all.

First day of 2014 and I have been quilting since 3am. Almost finished the Swoon kingsize top, only have borders left to go!! Got on Skype for the first time today, talked with my best friend. Wonder what else new I may do today??!!!!
