This is why I love auto racing

Driver leading the race. Sets up for a left hander. Makes his move to clip the apex. Gets penalized for 'Blocking'. You decide.

Hi:

Ok, it's so hot here, EVERYONE has gone to the malls! Really cold A/C (during peak hours)!

I was good: stayed home, went to the (very cool) basement to sew.

Since I finished Michael's birthday quilt, wanted to start working on the "donation" quilt.  Not sure about one of the fabrics though. It looked good at the time, but it seems a little dull now...I may have to reconsider/replace it.  Oh well...

Also, I think I need a higher table, at least counter height.  This bending over while cutting is v. hard on the back.  Sounds like I have some shopping in MY future!  New fabric, higher table.  LOL.

Talk later.  xoxoxo
