13 March 2018 .... and again, where has the time gone?

Last post - 5 March?  Time warp.  

What have I accomplished?  Dismally not much.  

Quilt/backing/batting (not in that order!) still not loaded on the frame.  I wait and wait but the quilting fairies have still not arrived on the scene.  


Backing - hasn't left its resting place

Batting has left the packaging it came in .... so that's a plus.  Right???
The flimsy has been unfolded on the frame...that's a plus also.  Right!!!!







Rather than concentrating on what was NOT done, I have made more string blocks towards the goal of - well, darn.  Thirty six 12 1/2" blocks is the goal - I think.   Somewhere I have that EQ7 drawing.  Have I counted?  No, I have not.  I just know I have a bunch of them ready to grow into larger blocks.  Here's the proof....








  




There is something wonderful about strip blocks.  You just never know how those colors will play together until they all come together.  

As to life in general.....

Our 20 years of making sure the Dayton Chess Club has had a home is slowly coming to an end.  Yes, our building is up for sale and it has generated some interest.  Twenty years.  Goodness!  And our last 5-6 years living in converted office space will cease once the building is sold.  House hunting is not a whole lot of fun.  It was at first...but that was several months ago.  Finding a place big enough to house a quilting frame - well, you get the idea.  In an area close to our church.  And someone wants some acreage thrown in there also.  Okay, make that two someones.  We are developing patience.  If moving to an apartment is our only option, then we move to an apartment until THE forever home is found. Oh wait - not our forever home. More of a residing place until God calls us home to our FOREVER home.  Yes, I like that much better.
