I have finally finished sewing the last seam on my RRCB tonight. What a huge relief to have it finished. I hope to put the top on the machine this week and get it quilted. I did take a couple of pictures and I will wait to post them after I take my course next week.
If Bonnie has another mystery next year I do not think I will join in. I have enough large quilts right now and no beds to put them on. I did the Carolina Christmas quilt and was not terribly thrilled with the outcome and I was really on the fence with the RRCB so I really think I need a break. It is a lot of work to keep up and I have had enough self imposed stress the past few years. Time to take a break from stress. I have to use up all of my scraps on charity quilts this year before I start something new anyway. The exception will be wall hangings for my living room and hallway. If I need fabric for those I will buy it but I will shop the stash first. I want to use up my batiks.
On a personal note, my back is killing me today. I guess from either sitting with poor posture at my machine for so many days straight or from the great lunk of a dog sleeping with me all night. Why I let him I do not know.
We had so much snow today. I could barely see further than the basketball hoops and the far end of the park was invisible. It took Fred ages to snow blow and the roads were horrible to drive on. It is a good thing we have a great system for snow plowing in this city so tomorrow we will be all back to normal.
Happy quilting,
Lynne
