to quilt. Yes, I scrubbed my kitchen floor and got the quilt pinned. It really didn’t take long, it is such a small quilt. So now I have to start the quilting - Nora, where are you when I need you?! Well, it is a small one, so it shouldn’t be too bad. I forgot to take a photo of it pinned, but my kitchen floor is not that exciting, so I guess it doesn’t matter.

I am going to quilt around the flower petals, just not sure which foot to use. I think the walking foot will be too clunky, but am wondering whether the 1/4 inch foot will cause gathering… I’ll just have to experiment.

Other than the normal daily to-do’s, we’ve been watching the Olympics and I’ve been winding DMC onto the little cardboard thingos while watching. Did any of you see the big box of DMC Zamil’s was selling? (Still selling?) Well, once upon a time I bought it…. and now I am finally sorting them out and getting them organized. It will be good to have it done. I won’t need to buy more DMC I’m sure! I really want to start some stitcheries, so it will be nice to be able to easily find the colors I need.

Now to finish off, here is are some photos of Elizabeth and a pony we are minding, and her lamb that she is bottle raising.
