Yesterday, I achieved my goal of quilting the tee shirt quilt, getting the blocks made for the next customer commission, and quilting one customer quilt. I will put the binding on the tee shirt quilt and make the top of the commission today. Hopefully, I can also trace the motifs for the African quilt, as well, and get that going in the right direction! I do have a couple of customers coming with quilt tops, so that will take some time away from work. We'll get there.
Mr Wazoo will be inside today, doing some quilting to keep up with his quilts. the siren song of the beautiful weather and the blooming garden is strong, but he is resisting. For that, I will be making his favorite, meatloaf, for dinner. One hand washing the other!
Off to work!

The tee shirt quilt is ready for binding. I did a lot of picking on this one.
The pockets I added got distorted when the machine sewed over them. |

| The back is a dusty purple which doesn't show well here. |

| Block parts ready to sew for the next commission. |
 |
| The last task of the day was to add to all four sides of this customer backing to make it big enough to load on the machine. I will quilt it today. |

More flower pictures from Mr W's gardens.
Just for you, Georgia! |
 |
| The back garden is mostly shrubs and ground covers. That is to keep maintenance to a minimum due to the extreme slope of the land. |
 |
| A touch of color on the back porch. |
 |
| Pink Knock-Out roses blooming. Mmmm! The scent is wonderful. |
 |
Clamatis and roses blooming together in front of the propane tank.
For some reason, the red roses come out dark pink in pictures... |
 |
| Roses and daisies in the side garden |
 |
| The yellow roses are the most fragrant. They start out with dark yellow buds, and turn more cream color as they mature. I can smell them from the studio when the window is open! |
 |
| The two planters by the back steps. The first flowers we see in the morning and the last we see when the workday is done. |
