I am happy it rained most of the day here, because it makes me work in the studio without the longing to go outside and enjoy the warm weather. I finished up the memory quilt last night while watching the PBS program about the National Parks. Binding is easier when there is something interesting to listen to on the TV.

I backed it with a cotton sheet.
I don't mind using them for utility quilts that will
be washed many times. |

| I chose this stripe for the binding because it has many of the colors from the quilt |
Mr Wazoo worked on a pretty blue Turning Twenty quilt. When he finished the quilting, he ventured outside to do some gardening between the bouts of rainfall.

I spent my entire day doing fiddly stuff that is necessary to finish two quilts. First, I made the rest of the appliqué pieces for the guild raffle quilt. I will turn the edges tonight in preparation for machine appliqué.
Next, I prepared the tee shirts for a customer quilt. The recipient will graduate later this month from the local High School, and this is a gift from her mother. Once I had all the shirts prepped, I messed with placements on the design wall. I think this is the winner. Tomorrow, I'll add the sashing and get it ready for quilting.
