MIA

Wanted to show what I've been working on and explain where I've been. We had to have a new AC put in so that meant cleaning out the garage so they could get in there to work. It needed to be done and in the process we have decided to get a storage building for DH to move his stuff to and close the garage in for my studio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Soooooo, I was even more motivated to throw stuff away and insist on Christmas stuff going into the attic. We have also been shopping for new appliances and finally made the purchase last night-new fridge, freezer, washer and dryer. Not a minute too soon!! Last Friday I decided to make DH a quilt for our anniversary which is May 15 so spent Saturday shopping for fabric. Found what I wanted, it is now all pressed except the border and backing and the pattern I chose is a quilt as you go so need to get the backing pressed so I can get it started but that will have to wait until Sunday because my sister called yesterday and said they are having a cookout for Mother's day tomorrow so we are headed there tomorrow for the day. I may have to give him what is done on Thursday and promise the rest ASAP!!

OK, as for what I have been doing lately, besides the above and working on my beach challenge which I will get finished and show after I get the anniversary quilt finished, lots of pillowcases, some for myself, DH, the boys and gifts and the Shadowed Squares quilt-it still needs the dark brown border.

Hope everyone has a great Mother's Day!!
