Wow, I can't believe it's been over 2 months since I've updated. I wish I had a lot of quilts to show for it, but really life has just gotten away from me. I've been working, fighting my evil ex-employer over unemployment benefits, traveling, going out more with my dog, and seeing a lot of Sharks games! Jason and I have even decided to up our half-season tickets to full season tickets next year! 43 games! How crazy is that?!
I just finished Gram's quilt. Well, it still needs to be unpinned and needs a label, but all of the constuction is done. It looks great. There were some issues with wavy borders due to all the bias edges on the blocks, but I think I got them ironed out (pun intended!)
I put the Mystery Quilt to sleep. It's ugly. I don't think I'll ever do a mystery quilt again. I don't want to keep it or give it to someone. I don't even want to donate it to charity. It's not worth the batting and backing it would take to assemble it. I'll try to post a (hideous) picture at some point.
With Gram's quilt being done tomorrow, and my last wedding quilt squares having arrived, I can work on that. I also have 2 baby quilts that need to get done sometime soon- one for Mike (Jason's best man at our wedding) and one for the couple that runs the scuba dive shop we use. We are pretty close to them as customers so it's my pleasure to welcome their first baby with a quilt!
Other than that, I'm just trying to stay sane. Still looking for a new job and have submitted a countless number of resumes. The Sharks start their playoff run in 2 weeks. I'm going to Hawaii for 2 weeks in May, the Chanel Islands for 4 days in June, and the Jersey Shore for a week in July. Of course if I get a new job, the plans might change, but for now it's good to know that I'll either be traveling or better employed in the future- either is good :)
