And I feel like I&#8217;ve done very little the past several weeks besides getting my quilt on.  It&#8217;s not like I haven&#8217;t had anything to say either&#8211;I&#8217;ve just been quilting.  A lot.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m finally on the last six blocks of Laura and Steve&#8217;s Wedding Quilt.  I&#8217;ve been feeling like I&#8217;ve really been hauling on it recently&#8211;it seems like it&#8217;s taken me no time at all, until I look back and realize that in fact, I&#8217;ve been working on it for what is actually <i>forever<\/i>.  I have been trying to really get the piecing finished up soon though&#8211;we&#8217;re expecting to start a major renovation in our kitchen, hopefully starting at the end of this month, and I&#8217;m not sure how much work I&#8217;ll be getting done on it when we start that project.  No new pictures of it at this point though&#8211;it still all looks the same to me.  I&#8217;ll post a shot of it again when I get the entire top pieced.  It&#8217;s too hard trying to hide the pictures from those people who are not allowed to see it at this point!<br \/>\nUnexpectedly to me, I&#8217;ve also gotten a ton of work done on my Bright Squares Quilt that I started about two or three weekends ago.<br \/>\n<center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gallery.avenueb.org\/albums\/album37\/aad.sized.jpg\" width=300 alt=\"Bright Squares Quilt\"\/><\/center><br \/>\nDespite being a smaller quilt, I have almost the whole top finished!  I&#8217;m about seven blocks away from having it all finished, but most of those blocks have actually been started.  Hopefully another week or two, and I&#8217;ll be able to start piecing those blocks together.  I&#8217;d like to have it finished soon so that I can order the fabric that I love for the back of it:<br \/>\n<center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jcarolinecreative.com\/Merchant2\/graphics\/00000001\/1030-000910-004.jpg\" width=200 alt=\"Disco Dot Fabric\"\/><\/center><br \/>\nAnd finally, after seeing all of the really cute pincushions at <a href=\"http:\/\/weewonderfuls.typepad.com\/\">Wee Wonderfuls<\/a>, I decided that I had to make one too.  This one is for a friend in my Crafty Girls group (that I&#8217;m headed off to shortly).  For being my first one, I thought it turned out pretty cool!<br \/>\n<center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gallery.avenueb.org\/albums\/album29\/aaq.sized.jpg\" width=300 alt=\"Flower Pincushion\"\/><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yep.
