I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe celebration today!
Me? I'm home all day with one thing on my mind -- sewing! I still have not received the new sewing table, so my new 750 will not be seeing any action. However, it's time to unbox the 350 and set her up on the Sew Ezi table. Yeah, that's what I'll do.
First up is getting the binding sewn on a quilt so I can have some evening hand stitching. It's the last one needing a binding. Time to send more tops out to be quilted.
Because I'm feeling all patriotic today, I pulled out the Prairie Paisley quilt top. I pieced the backing but it's a tad too short. I'll try to remedy that this weekend. This one was finished in 2009. Yikes! Time to just get it done! And to find a custom quilter........
I guess I'll have to find something smaller. Maybe I'll drag out the James River blues that has about half the blocks made. Or maybe I'll try again to do some hand applique. Whatever, I'm planning on stitching!
This Monday was my first day back at work. All I can say is "Wow." Four months went by quickly. Of course, I practically slept away the first two and a half of those. I'm just thankful that this week was a short one, although I do have to work tomorrow for part of the day. So I must, as they say, make hay while the sun shines today.
I'm so close to finishing up the organization in my sewing room. I need a strong back to finish it up. I want everything organized before this table is moved out and the new one installed. Maybe this weekend. Today is mine!
Enjoy your celebrations today!

How was your first day at work? Good? Bad? Ho-Hum? :-)
Love, love, love Prairie Paisley!!!!
So happy to hear that you're back to work, that means you are healing well! Enjoy your holiday in the sewing room, I'm hoping to get into mine also!
I will wave to you today...Anni is going to ride her bike in the parade and then we will BBQ hotdogs. Last time for a couple of years since they move next Saturday. I will email later....I have name of good custom quilter....
I'm a list maker...You have SO MUCH to show for your time off. Your list is full. Go back to work knowing your time wasn't wasted... somehow you managed to even fit in a surgery:)
I worked with some Prairie Paisley this past week! Just getting a project started and found I am short some blending fabric so said those dreaded words, "Must shop!" Your quilt is beautiful. Have a great weekend!
glad to hear you are back to work and sewing, too. I finally finished therapy this past Friday. Still not 100%, but was told it could take 9 months to a year. :( I just want to be normal again. But, hey.....at least I can sew again. That alone will speed up my recovery. Hope you had a great Fourth!
Your patriotic quilt with Prairie Paisley is a hit with me. I loved that fabric line but I don't think I ever had any of it. I like the X design of the quilt.
I know you had to go back to work eventually but would have been nice for you to have some good time at home when you actually felt really good.
Happy fourth! Pretty quilt Prairie Paisley is one of my favorite lines ever.
Your Prairie Paisley quilt is gorgeous! Be sure to show us once you've had it quilted and finished. Did you design it yourself? Glad to hear that you're well enough to return to work. Good for the soul to keep the brain busy I think.
That quilt is beautiful! And looks like it was a ton of work, good for you!
I've been working on a Prairie Paisley quilt, too - much simpler than yours, but still fun. So glad you can do a bit more these days.
Have you had a chance to sew much on the 750? I am considering buying one. How do you like the extra throat space? Any other thoughts?
