A long but productive weekend

Well our long holiday weekend is coming to a close. I already feel like a little kid who just doesn't want to go back to school tomorrow. I accomplished alot but still have more to go. I was able to get the binding on the first quilt that Jen quilted for me as a Christmas present. I just love it the quilting really does set it off and as soon as I can figure out putting pictures on my blog by myself I'll post a picture. I also finished a door hanging for Christmas and had it layered up and before I could pick it up off the floor the dog got sick on it. I was mad but couldn't yell at him. All I could do is try to wash it and hope for the best. So, in the wash went the top and the batting. Then I held my breath until it went into the dryer. Wow was I amazed when it came out of the dryer. The batting held together great, it was warm and natural and the top just needs to be pressed. Tomorrow night hopefully I'll layer it up and quilt it. The binding is already made and ready to go.

I didn't get the tree up or the house straightened up but I still feel good about my weekend. Now the press is on until it's Christmas. No more slacking and taking naps on the couch. There is serious sewing to be done.

I also went out and bought my Amarillus bulb and planted it today. For those of you who read Jen's blog you know about our family competition and she also posted a challenge to anyone out there who would like to join in. It's always fun. Now we just keep our fingers crossed and wait for the bulb to start growing. Mine is going to be pink.
