This past weekend was a fun diversion! I got to team up with my husband on a writing project, which was quite the adventure. It did mean I wasn't able to tick off as many quilting tasks as I would've liked, but I did put the finishing touches on the Comet's Revival flimsy – a little triumph right there! (Please excuse the quality of the photo, I promise to snap a better one soon.)
And let's not forget the Cosmic Cabin quilt! I managed to add the first border, but alas, I ran out of the sashing fabric for the second border. It's time for a treasure hunt to find a suitable replacement.
So, what's on my quilting agenda for this week?
- Craft a backing for the Comet's Revival quilt
- Quilt the Comet's Revival quilt into existence
- Complete the borders on the Cosmic Cabin quilt
- Create a backing for the Cosmic Cabin quilt
- Bring the Cosmic Cabin quilt to life!
I'm dreaming of seeing both these quilts completed by the month's end, but my writing adventures with my husband might stretch the timeline a bit. He's my biggest quilting cheerleader, so when he needs a hand with his projects, I'm more than happy to lend one! =)
Oh, and as a little visual treat, here are a couple bonus photos of our irises in full bloom – aren't they just delightful?
