On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs. We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week.

I bet that will keep you warm on those chilly non-Floriday nights!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful job you did! Love the fabrics you chose.

ReplyDeleteI am impressed. That is a cool looking quilt and looks great for a Florida chill.

ReplyDeleteThat's interesting. No one in my family that I know of ever made a quilt although my grandmother did leave a single nine patch square in her things.
DeleteI have never tackled any quilting larger than a table mat. Maybe someday.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! My mom was a quilter, perhaps I'll give it try. Though I'm not sure I'd have the patience.
ReplyDeleteI know a number of quilters and I don't get the pull of the hobby, but I love the finished products.
ReplyDeleteI didn't get it for a long time either, but now I find it a kick to complete one.
DeleteEvery Monday the quilters are at our senior center. I am so tempted to join them but fear I would mess up all their wonderful work. You are truly an artist.
ReplyDeleteLooks great!
ReplyDeleteLovely looking quilt! You are very talented.
ReplyDeleteI'm always so envious of people who are able to make such quilting masterpieces. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI've never done one! Good for you!
ReplyDeleteI have only ever made one small one when I was younger and felt pride in doing such things. Now my eye sight is weak and I've lost some of my zeal.
ReplyDeleteYou are doing an excellent job with your machine.
