Lonely Logs

Today was our "out" day. Swim team, free movie, fabric store, lunch, silly bandz shopping and the hardware store. After that I folded a bunch of laundry and matched up socks. Not quite as fun as my grout scrubbing of yesterday, but it was a close second. I did get a bit of sewing done on the fill in the blank blocks after the kids were in bed. There is certainly lots of empty space in there for some quilting practice.
Tomorrow is my trip north for handiquilting classes! There is one from 9 to 12 and another from 2 to 5. I've got my camera packed, so hopefully I'll get a couple of pictures to share. I should still get back in time to do some sewing for the Friday Night Quilt Along.
Kurt took Ryan to his football awards ceremony tonight. Did I mention that they won the championship series? The coach had special shirts made up for them to celebrate.

Surprise


The problem with wonky anything is getting them to fit together. I thought about cutting these all down to the same size, but instead followed my recent trend of just sashing them with big borders of white trimmed to a given size.
I think I am going to call this my Surprise! series; Four Patch Surprise, Crumb Block Surprise and Log Cabin Surprise. The surprise? I'm going to sneak one oddball block into each quilt; a nine patch, a solid square and a courthouse steps block. Subtle, right?
We went out to dinner tonight and I only ordered one glass of wine, but it was buy one get one free. I'm all sleepy now so I'll have an early night.
