A day when the post office and banks are closed always feels like a free day. There isn't any business you can take care of. Now on day 2 of 2013 it is time to get back into routines. Yesterday on my free day I wound bobbins. One spool the size and brand that is in the photo filled 15 and a third bobbins. I don't get irritated when a bobbin runs out if I have a new one ready to pop in.
I found another box of Kaffe scraps, mostly strips so I sorted them into piles of different lengths and then returned them to the box. I watched season 1 episodes of Downton Abbey while in the studio. It doesn't look like Netfix has the second season available so I'll be searching other places for it today.
I also quilted a bunch of the mug rugs while I was glued to the TV. This one is ditch quilted.
I grid quilted this one and it ended up being my least favorite style of quilting.
I did a square spiral on one of them with random spacing between the lines of stitching.
My favorite style ended up being the random straight lines like I did on the last 3 table runners. I have 3 more to quilt and then I need to look for bindings.
I took this photo of the Amaryllis on Dec. 30. It is about ready to have the flower stalks cut off now and I'll retire it to my heated garage. It is about 60 degrees out there so it should be OK.
Today I need to get a couple backings sewn together and get a quilt loaded on my longarm machine. Time to get to work!
