warm feet...

Still in the groove, but had to rest the sore fingers from working last night and all day today stitching the binding to the back. My "Winter Garden" is done!



It was already in use before it was completed: last night, I had finished sewing the binding on, came downstairs with the quilt tossed over my shoulder, sewing box in hand, ready to begin with closing the quilt. I dropped the quilt on the couch, went into the kitchen to do the dishes, and when I came out, the quilt was gone. In the midst of wondering aloud where it went, I turned and found the man and the dog under the quilt, "watching" the football/soccer game with their eyes closed (how do they do that? I always seem to miss things when I do that...). It took some maneuvering, but I managed to get my feet under a little bit of it and begin sewing.

No doubt this will be a hard working quilt that will see lots of competition footie, or weekend movies. At least our tootsies will be warm and cozy...


Ok, back to work - don't want to lose that groove.

So glad to hear you still have your groove. I have to admit I would have done the same thing as man and dog. LOL! This just looks the warmest, cuddliest (nope, I know that is not a word, but hey...) quilt. Bring the winter on!

I am posting my UFO confessions today on my blog. Will you join me? Come over and take a look...

Hugs and a wonderful weekend ~

Oh I love the checkered binding! And I must confess, I never get much done with my eyes closed - especially writing my blog - I make lots of typos. Hope you stay toasty!
