ReplyDeleteWhat a great day! I'm planning to spend Monday in my sewing room. Nice numbers! We're hanging tough, Amy!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week. Oh...and did I miss who won the quilt design contest? I better look again. I love that you do that each year.
What a great day! Love the play by play updates. February BOM has me a little frightened, but I'm hanging tough. Those are great colors for Carolina Christmas. I've resisted so far, but it would be the first Bonnie mystery that I am feeling sad about that. Great days progress. Have fun at work tomorrow. I promise I won't brag about my extra day off too much.
ReplyDeleteAnother great sewing day! Looks like the BOM is getting more challenging already--templates! LOL.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful day and productive too!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a wonderful productive day, but you're scaring me. I didn't know I would have to stretch, and it's only the second month.
ReplyDeleteJust kidding, I'll just have to keep reminding myself of one of my favorite sayings, "when you're green you're growing and when you're ripe you're rotten", looks like I could be growing. Thanks for coming up with this BOM. It's fun and educational.
ReplyDeleteWow you were busy? how do you get all of the pictures together like that? you are so techy :o)
