I put in the last stitch this afternoon on the jelly roll race quilt that I started last summer! Here she is and she will stay right in the living room.

I do love the colors, I don’t love the quality of the fabric but I’ll live with it.

I went to Joann’s this morning to get more green thread and to find some backing fabric for the Christmas jelly roll race quilt that I want to finish next. While I was there I picked up a small Ottlite Flip light. I am hoping this will give me that little bit more light I need in the evening to do my handwork. I’m unmotivated to do handwork at night because of the shadows that are cast in my poorly lit living room. I will try this out over the next week and let you know how it is. It was $20 but I used a coupon. It can stand up and also clip to your clothing.

Yesterday we had a blast in the backyard celebrating my nephew’s high school graduation! Lots of people, good food, a pool, a bouncy and badminton…very fun…very hot too…
Today I am throwing in laundry here and there, finished that quilt and now I see my backyard is filling up with some neighbors who no doubt would like to coooool off…it has been many, many days of 90+ heat.

Don’t forget to enter to win the 8″x10″ canvas (see previous post).
