It has been awhile since I posted. That means I have been busy, I hope. I did go to the quilt show, it was nice and there were a lot of really nice reproduction quilts this year. Seems to me like more than normal. I did not take any pictures. Most were real simple. Besides, for me it is basically the fabrics that make the quilt.
I did come home from the show to a sick dog. My Bassett Hound, Zeke, somehow had gotten pancreatitis. He will eat anything and had gotten into some cat treats. And that was evidently too much fat for him and he spent the weekend at the vet. He came home on Monday, after over $400 later. Poor baby, but I will do just about anything for my animals.
My room is coming along slow but sure. It is all primed, trim is basically painted and the walls will come next. After painting the trim, I am afraid it will take two topcoats of paint. Oh well. I have had to go slow because of my shoulder and I have had to make several trips to town lately but I hope to be ready to have new laminate installed by the end of this week. I finally have an itch to sew after all these months and I think I should take advantage of it. I have never made a string quilt and I ran across a cute little little idea for miniature string quilt. It would be quick and easy and be a good way to try out my new sewing arrangement when I get my room back together. I know I can find tons of pieces to cut small strips from in my scrap tin. I must remember to throw some cheddar in there.
