Quilts, Saturdays & Sunny Days

So, here's the quilt that I've most recently completed. It was a surprise quilt for my Mom (although I had told her after finishing my last quilt that she was next) but she thought it would be coming to her at Christmas. Amazingly, in total, this quilt probably only took about 2 weeks to complete, start to finish. I've figured out that if I chose a design with fewer pieces, I can crank one out in less than a month. Not bad. My goal now is to complete quilts for the rest of the ladies in my family before Christmas. We'll see how well that goes. I've got a design and colors chosen for 2 of the three ladies and am figuring out the third currently. Here's hoping I stay motivated.

Yesterday was a lovely day at the pool (my parents). We only stayed for about 3 hours but that was plenty of time for me to get some more good sun and kick Jim's butt in volleyball twice. Can't wait to spend next Saturday there...currently it's supposed to be a beautiful day.

Today's plans: Jim threw me a bone yesterday by going to the pool so I will throw him one and we'll most likely go to Shooter's at some point today. House is clean so all I really need to do is cook breakfast and walk Sami. Cari next door wants to go for a walk as well so I'll do that before crazy heat hits.

And that's all I've got. Jim's stomach just growled so loudly that I heard it all the way across the room. Yowza. And considering the bear he becomes when he's hungry, I better get a move on. Later! Happy Saturday!
