The best laid plans, as they say. I was sure I would have the farm animals quilt finished yesterday, or even the day before. But as I was putting the rows together I realized something was wrong. The quilt contains three vertical rows, and as I was joining them, I found that one row was an inch shorter than the other two. So while I was picking out stitches (I hate picking out stitches), life intervened and I had to put the whole thing aside. I haven't been able to work on it today because I had an eye-doctor appointment (all was find with my peepers) and had to get my oil changed. I'm home now, but it's almost 4:00 p.m. and I'm bushed. I'm determined to finish it up tomorrow, no matter what comes.
I have several more projects I want to finish, plus I've come upon a couple more I want to start. Wouldn't you just love it if you could finish one thing before starting another? Maybe you do, but I just can't.
BTW, I've finally updated my books-read list in the left sidebar if you keep up with that. I hear my oven beeper, so that means my lunch (very late lunch) is ready. More later.

It's probably too late now, but I suggest you put in a strip of fabric here, there, or elsewhere so your rows come out even, no seam ripper involved.
Alas, I also start a new project before I finish the one I'm working om or ... the one before that, etc, hence lots of UFOs.
We've had lovely rain today and it's cooler!! What a blessing.
Hugs!

I truly loved Cold Mountain also and was looking forward to the movie. What a disappointment. With Thirteen Moons I enjoyed it a whole lot more the second time around. I've been remiss. I need to check into the others he has written.
