Gave the most recent quilt to my mother today. She's experiencing some health issues. Squiddle really loved the quilt for his Nana - ranging from stealing the fabric while I was working on it, to "helping" with the basting, to snuggling lots with it once it was done. So hopefully his filling it with love will help.

On the way home from my parents' place, I needed to stop and get some thread to use in the orange sections of the crane quilt. And M&L Fabrics was much closer to my route than any JoAnns. I'd only been to M&L once, about twenty years ago, but I knew it was still around, and have heard well of it on quilting blogs.

HOLY HELL IT'S A FABRIC CANDY STORE.

I wish to note for the record that I was very good. I walked the aisles. I petted the fabric. I even seriously coveted a couple bolts. But ALL I got was the one spool of orange thread I came for. And I've been working on the quilting this evening. I have two of the seven orange sections quilted, and two of the eight black sections quilted. I need to have it quilted and bound by 6pm next Tuesday. And I have class Thursday night.

Six days. I can do this. I just have to push and keep working.
