All Bound Up

Sue finished Karen's quilt and sent it to me to do the final binding on it. Frankly, it is gorgeous. I love the colors and the fabrics and the design - even if the pattern was wrong and Sue had to trim parts to make them fit. She did a beautiful job and Karen is going to love it. It's all boxed up and Dan will mail it tomorrow.

It was a sewing weekend and I do love being in my office/sewing room during the winter. It gets the late sun and is lovely and warm during the colder days. Last night we went to church and then out to dinner with Nancy, Scott and Vi at Famous Dave's. Ashley went to Chris' work holiday party and she looked fabulous in her cranberry red dress and heels up to there. Don't know how she walks in those things, but the effect was certainly worth it.

Now, on to Christmas cards and final shopping. Tuesday my work has its annual "grade and graze" - it sure is fun being in the lab and enjoying their activities. Apparently the two top guys flip pancakes in the morning for everyone. Can't wait to see that. Oh, and we'll grade some diamonds, too. Friday is the all-work holiday party, then the Helton's annual Carol Sing. It'll be a good week.
