OK, it's time to admit that I am one of the birthday girls from the lunch on Thursday. One sister-in-law and I share the same birthday (today). It is a little depressing that this year's birthday ends with a 9 which means both digits will change in 2010. The joyful part of it is that I have 365 days until that happens.
A store 30 miles from here was having their anniversary sale with 25% off so I went yesterday and bought myself a birthday present. I NEEDED some more batiks.
Last night I did some more quilting on this piece. I finished piecing it May 29th, and started quilting it August 16th. I have all of the straight line quilting done so now I have to do some free motion in the outside border. I think I lost momentum on this one because I started it a week before my mother passed away and finished the top just before my family all arrived.
I don't have any plans for today other than cleaning my house. It is something I almost always do on my birthday. It is the beginning of a new year and I need to start it with a clean house. I bought myself a new vacuum cleaner yesterday too so I will try it out today. I'm sure I'll sneak a little quilting in there somewhere too.
