Made It Home

Watched my grand daughter in her play.Visited with my daughter and son. Saw and spent some time with a friend. Went to a hand quilting group and a Civil War group. We then traveled to the southern tip of Illinois and visited with my mother. A long time to sit in a car. Once we came home ,there is the grocery shopping, laundry and bill paying to do. Before I left I acquired the supplies to recover my ironing board. The top was ripped and stained.

 New decorator fabric, bright and fresh! Also bought a new iron. A cheap one from Wal-Mart. The last three have been Oliso's iron and within a year all were leaking. Great heat but does not last very long. Now I am ready to start sewing now. Chatter with you later, Martha.

  I have been doing some more sewing of flying geese, the past couple of days.  I have made some progress as I have about twenty sashings total sewn now.  Here are pics of what I have finished so far. I also got back another lap quilt from the quilter and I have sewn down the binding on the front side. In the evenings I am enjoying hand sewing the back side.   I also purchased some Applipops  , which were a bit on the expensive side($35) and decided to try them for all the circles in this quilt. They are not worth the price in my opinion.  To each his own. I prefer my mylar circle washers, There are many more sizes and easier to use.
