I bought a pair of turquoise toe sandals and it made my day.
I am working on 3 quilt tops.
Boy A's quilt (lap quilt sized) is almost done. I've appliqued on all the turtles and one of the dogs. I have one more dog to applique on, unfortunately I can't find what I did with it. If it doesn't turn up soon, I'll gave to make a new one.
The retirement block quilt top is 99% done. The problem is I'm afraid to make the quilt sandwich and quilt it. It is hard for me to keep the smaller ones smooth and this will be several times harder. I might breakdown and buy a quilting frame, but I am out of money just now.
But I saw a pattern I really loved, so I've started a modified version of it. All I have to do is post some pictures so you all can see how multi talented I am.

Suggestion on keeping the quilt sandwich together to machine quilt...
Use very big hand basted stiches about 6 inches apart by 6 inches on a grid #. You can then machine quilt right over the basting stiches and then pull the big bastings threads out when it is finished.
