I had a wonderful visit with Kiri, Chris & Cora and the wedding was beautiful. I loved spending time with Cora while Kiri was at work for 2 days! She is such a great baby for 5 months old. My sisters and niece, Vanessa all came (Sheila's husband, Jerry was also there.) It was great that they all made the trip from Texas to Pittsburgh, PA for the wedding & to see Cora for the first time. My ex-sister-in-law, Carolyn was also there. My kids are amazed that their Dad & Nancy (stepmom) are civil to each other. It was nice meeting Courtney's parents & family. Will & Courtney make a beautiful couple. The pictures from the wedding are spectacular.
It took about a week for me to be able to get back to sewing. I had to catch up on the 2 BOMs for Gone Quilting. I finally finished my Flying Geese block using my Christmas fabric for the Quilt Story BOM. I was a little off on some of the triangles, but I still like the block. I also completed the July Spider Web block for this BOM. I completed the Compass Block - Kaleidescope for that BOM. I need to complete my Mystery Quilt 6 and finish quilting Cora's special quilt that I was working on before I left for Maryland. The needle kept breaking & in frustration I decided to put it away. I haven't had any problem with the needle breaking so far, so maybe later on this week I'll try finishing the quilt! I also need to figure out what I'm going to do with my fabric for the Ugly Fabric Quilt and work on my 2" squares quilt.
We are in the process of working on finishing the addition. Monday we spent the day painting the siding and trim. Tomorrow I'll do the touch up and put the paint away. We bought doors, door knobs & locks, lights and electrical stuff today. Pat is going to call his friend, Raul to see if he will do the electric for us. It will be great once the room is finished. We'll have a finished laundry room, half bath & my sewing/sitting room. I'll post our progress!
