Three Day weekend to Sew!
        
I have a 3 day weekend and have been making some good headway into quilting my quilt for this month's goal for  "A Lovely Year of Finishes". 

Friday night, I starched and ironed the backing, and top and got it sandwiched and pin basted.

           Saturday, I didn't get to do any sewing but it's ok.  I had a great day with hubby and son.  We celebrated son's 27th birthday by taking him to a movie  (Argo) and then dinner at Granite City.  The movie kept you on the edge of your seat,  and while I was a young adult during that time in our history, I don't remember anything about the 6 who came home before the other hostages.  The meal was wonderful.  I had the best hamburger with toppings! I couldn't pick it up so I ate it with a fork! 


             Sunday,  I did get to sewing and made some headway on quilting the top.  I decided to outline the lattice work and then do a design through the lattice work.  In the green squares I am going to freemotion  a flower design.  The thing that drove me nuts last night was getting "lost" in the maze of outlining.  I didn't want to go over lines twice so I would get stuck somewhere.  At the end.  I took the quilt and marked every seam I need to quilt with painter's tape. 






(I hope it sticks on until I get to that place)  Today, I am planning to finish up the outlining and then start the quilting.  So onward I go.


Marsha!
