Kamryn's TARDIS (Dr. Who) quilt [Quilting]

Kamryn's TARDIS quilt was taken off the frame this afternoon.  104" x 108" -- she's a bigg'un.  

Kamryn requested the Fascination pantograph; the quilting is quite dense and took about 10 hours to complete, 7 of those hours being today.  My back is certainly letting me know that I stood for that long, too!

I remember watching Dr. Who as a child---LONG time ago!  I haven't watched it since then, however.

Kamryn is super excited to get this back into her hands.  First thing tomorrow morning, the binding will be completed (by machine), and then it'll get packaged up for the trip in the mail.

Technical difficulties no more!

Yes, folks!  That lovely, lovely Daylight Savings "Spring Ahead".

Gotta love it, right?!??!

My parents were visiting this past weekend in order to cheer on Caitlyn and Cassie for their DI tournament.  While out shopping yesterday for some groceries for dinner, Paul and Gpa picked up a surprise Birthday cake for Gma!!!  Respecting a women's right to withhold age information, my mother turns .... "8-squared" next Sunday ;).  We celebrated a bit early with some yummy almond-flavored butter-cream frosted marble cake.  Yummmmo.   The cake topped off a meal of homemade pizza and eggrolls.   STUFFFFFED!

Paul. Oh, bless Paul.

He took care of some errands today;   my van was in major need for an oil change.   I received a text at 8:27 saying...."There was a big mouse nest on the engine."

Oh my.  

Additionally, Paul zoomed over to the ISP to pick up a replacement modem.

We are BACK in business folks :)  As much as I don't want to admit the necessity of having Internet...it truly has become a part of life that makes things easier and more enjoyable!  

 
Yesterday, I made it through about 1/3 of the quilting on Kamryn's quilt before finally deciding to give my back a rest.  7 hours of quilting at the frame sufficed for the day.

Once the evening settled down, after saying our goodbyes to Gma and Gpa, and dinner table and dishes were taken care of, I pulled out my Coffee-n-Cream Drop-in-the-Pond afghan.  I need at least one more cream edge on the bottom, and then..... ??  I COULD be done if I wanted to be.  

I have enough yarn to make it one more ripple taller (top/bottom) and one more ripple wider on each side.  **Shrug**  Dunno. It might be one of those projects I add on to when the mood strikes.

For those of you affected by the time-change, I hope your Monday ran as smoothly as possible!!! ;)

Around here....the weather was B-E-A-U-TEEEEE-ful today!  (Not that I could enjoy it much!)  My windows at school are still snowed-in, so I couldn't open them.  But after school, it was still 53 degrees out.  WOW!  That temp was sooooo refreshing.

Therefore, here's to a wonderfully sunny day.  ((Too bad it's going back to cold, sleet and snow tomorrow)) :/

 Happy Monday!
