Well - Groundhog day is long past! FTM so is Valentine's Day. Presidents' Day is coming up this coming Monday.
News here - Log Cabin needs only the outside 2 borders and backing and off it goes to Wendy for quilting! I finally got the fabric for the outside 2 borders yesterday - and think it will look terrific - and help actually tone down some of the red distraction in that little flower in the Navy Calico strips - that and with the deep navy outside border - just what was needed!
The backing is a Civil War Repro - and I positively drool over it! Sure hope there is enough left over for a vest for me (I have this thing about vests! Some folks are like that about socks - I'm like that about vests!) Should look great - will help tie all colors together and look special in its own right! Haven't gotten the binding yet - but am seriously thinking it will be the red. Possibly the navy - won't really be able to tell until the rest is done.
Other news - I have a new sewing machine. As in BRAND NEW - and it is computerized (which is both a plus and a minus as far as I am concerned!) Am learning how to use it now.
Have got a lot to sew up today - as well as all the housework I've goofed off on. Wish me luck!
Am re-setting goals for coming week, etc.
