Ahoy!

Row, Row, Row Your Boat is a flimsy! And I'm delighted with it. As I mentioned earlier, I think, I ordinarily don't buy quilt patterns, much less kits. But I had seen this one at the Fat Quarter Shop and loved the idea of orange with the blues instead of red. My darling husband has a small sailboat that sometimes I believe he loves more than me, and I thought he would like it if I made this quilt for one of the littlies. With Nate expecting a brother or sister in about two and a half months, I thought this was the perfect occasion -- to make this terrific quilt to take to Nate when we go to Richmond to meet Whoever.

I started it back in February and then put it aside until Saturday. I spent pretty many hours on Saturday and Sunday working on it and put the final outside borders on tonight. And I couldn't be happier with it! Planning to take it to the machinist next week.

I had a lot of time to sew this weekend because Joe had gone down to Richmond to help Tom and Anastasia with some sort of soffit venting that needed doing. He took Blackberry along (and apparently he and Nate have become serious friends), so I had the whole weekend to myself. I went to a play, enjoyed my sister's company, dined out with a friend, spent much of one day sewing with five other friends, ran errands, did a little shopping, and didn't have to answer to anyone. It was an excellent weekend.

But I was awfully happy to see You Know Who come in the door this evening, with his four-legged friend close by his side.
