Today was a bit of this and a bit of that. I started the morning after puppy fell back asleep with my tea and some hand work. I had enough time to attach another purple centre and about six stems of the Dresden plate block. When I was relieved from my shift, I headed down to the rec room to make room for pinning a queen size quilt. I had to start by clearing out the room and vacuuming the floor, which took me a bit, and I had to iron the backing and the top before layering the quilt.
It took me a few hours maybe even four to press and pin the quilt. This one is now ready for quilting. This is the Midnight flight quilt. I am going to slowly work on getting it quilted. It is a large quilt so it will take some time, but I am going to quilt something simple. I was thinking of just a simple stippling for this quilt, because the people I am giving it to will put a lot of wear on it. The stippling will hold up the best I think.
Just now before I started my next shift with puppy, I was sewing on piecing the Midnight flight runway quilt. Tonight is my night off of puppy duty, so after making dinner for everyone I plan to putter some more in my quilting room. I am going to take advantage of my time off.
