I didn't get much done in the way of busting UFOs this week, just a wee little bit of hand quilting on the "Blackberry Creek" quilt. It's looking like I will not have it ready for guild show-and-tell in April as I had hoped.
Mostly this week, I've spent my sewing room time getting things ready for our guild's "yard sale," which we'll be holding at our next meeting.
While I was preparing my stuff for sale I got to thinking that I'll be stuck at my table and not be able to go around and see what everyone else has. Bummer that. Well, at least I won't be able to buy stuff I don't need.

We have had another death in the family this week. Cait and Kathryn, my DDs who live in Providence, R.I., lost their sweat Smeagol. He was only six years old and had not been sick. Just fell dead, probably with a heart attack or blood clot. I never had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Smeagol in person, but Cait and Kathryn say he was the sweetest kitty ever. They are heartbroken.

Looks like you have some nice goodies for the yard sale. Hope you sell out!

Looks like you have some wonderful yard sale stuff. I've been looking at the Sidewinder but I don't know if I would like it. Had one similar years ago but it did not have a speed control and the spool of thread would end up across the room because it was too fast. Sorry you may not finish your quilt in time for the show. I know you really wanted to have it finished. Next month!

Sympathy to Cait and Kathryn on the loss of their sweet kitty Smeagol. Having lost several beloved four legged furry kids, I certainly understand the empty places in heart and home when one dies. Big hugs to them both.
I hope someone can sit at your table while you look around the other guild sale tables! Hope you sell all you want to sell.
Have settled on borders for a nursery wallhanging. The chosen nursery colors for this baby boy are blue/gray, cream, "light navy" (???), olive green, and a touch of red and yellow - oh, and black furniture. I didn't have the heart to tell this new mommy that the toys will be primary colors. These borders have had me hemming and hawing for a week so today it's fish or cut bate as my uncle used to say.
When do we get to see the 3 quilts you picked up from the quilter last week? :D
Hugs!

What a beautiful lil' kitty-person! I am SO SORRY for their loss. I know - having lost three beloved kitty-people over the years - how hard it is!
