I have been on a Sabbatical. The short term, full-time job wiped me out. I have 2 days of subbing this week and then I think I may be done for awhile. There is some stirring in the district about a new school venture and I was asked to be aware that there may be a need for some consulting work in the near future so I want to get as many of my projects done as possible.
I just got SSitG back from the binder. My first green quilt. I love it! The quilter, Dawnell Muelke did a wonderful job and so did the binder, Marilyn Hersey. It will go up in the shop in March and I will get a picture of it on the wall.

| SSitG is an Irish Chain with a strip pieced border. There are only 2 blocks: a double 4 patch and a 4 patch triangle added to a strip pieced triangle. This ended up to be a full size quilt-didn't realize it was so big until all the blocks were done |
My husband turned 70 this last weekend. He does not look his age. We went to a play, had 14 people in to play games and share Chinese food, had breakfast with some best friends and took him out to dinner last night-surf and turf. I also made him this cake on Saturday and booked a train trip to Seattle as a surprise for him. He was well birthdayed.
