What a good morning.

Sunny, clear, dry. No work! Big mug o’coffee and some buttered toast. A purpose. Some physical activity to attain purpose. Shoes chosen and packed. A friend calls to say goodbye just for a few days. Cats who are seriously glad I’m alive and care about them. A second mug o’coffee. Hard decisions made and done with. A quick peek at my fellow bloggers (see list left) and behold – new posts from many of them. Nice catching up with folks, even if I don’t really know them except virtually.

In reality though, a good morning and a good time ahead.

It’s a keeper!

Update on the current quilt in progress, aka “code name shine” — finished ironing all the seams tonight and sewed and pressed the center seam,making one top. That was my goal so I can take the thing to the Vermont Quilt Festival and keep sewing on it, so I’m good to go. If you click the image above you’ll see one view taken with a small flash. Here’s another view that is taken without flash. Size of the whole is about 36 x 72″.

It’s done. And I actually got to spend some time today just looking at it. Now it’s on to the next — let’s just say – piecing shall we?
