The old quilt block looks stained in the pic, but I guess it's a shadow because it isn't stained. I haven't pressed it or anything yet, either. I'm going to frame it and hang it in my sewing room. My mom has a Lone Star quilt quilted by my great grandmother that one day she will pass on to me. So, I will have 5 generations of quilts or blocks, so special to me! Well, actually, counting my grandmonkey, it's 6 generations! Boy, she'd fuss at me for leaving her out! LOL!
I ended up quiting the Dbl. Irish Chain on my Juki because I'd had to piece the minkee for the backing and couldn't get it to load smoothly on the HQ16. So, needless to say, there's minimal quilting on it, boy was that beast heavy to drag thru that machine! I was EVER SO HAPPY to get it finished! LOL!
My sons went camping this weekend (crazy fools, it's COLD in the N. Ga. mtns.!) and I'm babysitting ole Wally. In fact, he's been staying with Daisy and I pretty often while DS is at work, there's no need for him to be home alone all day now that Daisy has decided to allow him to visit! LOL! Daisy rules the roost with an "iron paw", and Wally is very layed-back and doesn't mess with her, bless his heart he acts like a little old hen-pecked man around her. Everything is peaceful as long as he doesn't even LOOK at her bed or quilt or toys.
