Another sluggish week, but I am getting back into the sewing groove. I realized that part of my problem is that I do not have work prepped to go when I don't want to think about what to do. I know I will need a lot more applique hearts for the blue medallion quilt, so I will work on prepping those. That is something I can prep and sew even if the sewing table is mostly covered in scrapbook stuff.

As much as I have been wanting to finish the New & Improved D9P, I couldn't because I had no where to sandwich it. We are working on giving the office/guest room more privacy. This involves changing out the double doors with window panes into a real wall with a real door which involves a lot of dry wall dust in the space where I usually sandwich quilts. Since we were having family over for the 4th, I took advantage of the lull in work and did a heavy duty cleaning and then sandwiched it before I got distracted with something else. Whew.

My numbers were not quite right and I had to add a sliver of backing to one side before starting quilting, but l didn't agonize over perfection. I am just trying to finish. For a brief moment I thought I'd finish this Red, White, and Blue quilt on July 4th, but after cleaning, cooking, hosting I just ran out of steam. It was nice to have some down time with family even though I have to remind myself that it is okay to take the down time.
