What I am Working on Now

I have not been able to work on too many quilting things lately because of work and the basement that we are trying to fininsh.  The basement is coming along very slowly and it is very frustrating.

Today I took off from work so the Electrician could come and finish up our electrical stuff.  He didn't show up at all and did not call.  I also had a tile guy coming over for a bid on the bathroom and kitchen tile and he didn't show either.  I had another tile guy coming at 6:30 tonight but he called and said the weather is too bad and wants to come tomorrow evening.

I worked on a couple of things while I waited.  I needed to make pillow covers for the sofa pillows and I have almost finished them today.  I just need the backing for them now.

I have also made the official start for the baby quilt that I need to have done by January.  This is our 21st grandbaby.  I have made these cute embroidered barn animals into quilts several times. This one will be green and yellow as our daughter is not going to find out what is coming until the baby arrives.

I have all the words done also so I need to clean up the threads on these and trim them to the size I want them to be.  I will be making green and yellow blocks to go with them. I will be backing this quilt with minky and will not put in batting.  I have seen a few of the baby quilts made this way on the web and decided I wanted to try this out.

Well, this will make two posts today but I am not sure when I will be able to post again so I think this is pretty good.
