This is the quilt top, all put together as of noon today! This is just the top – next Sunday is the border, and then wait until the second class begins sometime next year. That is when we will add the batting and the back side of the quilt. And do the binding. And, I assume, the quilting. It feels pretty good to be at this point in the quilt, let me tell you!
And, in the middle of all this excitement, my foot wrapped around the cord to my iron – one I have had for 20 years at least and really like – pulled the iron off the counter, and it shattered into a billion pieces of plastic. “It’s dead, Jim,” to quote someone. Luckily, I had another iron, older than that one, as back up.
Sacrifices must be made, I guess. The sewing gods are jealous gods . . .
