The binding is on Baltimore Rhapsody! Now I just need to finish outline hand quilting around those darn grapes in the harp block!
But first, my daughter and I are off on a "girls-gone-wild" trip through the southeast to see colleges. Actually, after the winter we've had, I think it will be more like "Thelma and Louise," hopefully without the suicide plunge at the end.
We are leaving within the hour from southeast Michigan...before the NEXT 6 inches of snow they are predicting for our house tomorrow...to see schools in N. Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama. She has a winter break from her junior year and we need to make decisions about this next phase of her life.
The quilt is making the trip with us. I will get those last little stitches done at night when we aren't driving.
So maybe I should say the "THREE" of us are going!
What will we encounter...ice? earthquakes? When I heard about the earthquake hitting S. Carolina and Georgia I just couldn't believe it. I am hoping for some milder temps before returning to Michigan for the rest of the winter.
I have been hunkering down to finish this quilt...today was my "double-secret-deadline-day." I came very close (just those darn grapes!)...my apologies to all my friends and family I have forsaken since before Christmas. Now that it is essentially done, I can leave the house again! I will get pictures so I can do the big reveal upon returning to Michigan.
Let me know about great quilt shops in N. Carolina...maybe I could talk Riley into a side trip...
In stitches,
Teresa :o)
