A cold front will be going through today in Florida... the temps around upper 70's of yesterday are long gone with highs in the mid 50's and dropping today into the 30's. Still better than the bitter cold wind and snow and freezing rain most of the northern part of the country is getting today. Hope the power stays on for all of you.
I think it is a good soup day (beef barley?)... with maybe some popovers or home made bread to go with it? Maybe lasagna for dinner tonight....I have not had that in ages... we will see.
Today will be the day to finish the last 2 strands of thread into the orange, piece the kitty ripped batting and then ROLL the quilt on the frame! I can get about 4 or 5 of the squares done each roll

| The culprit... I need to find a small pvc pipe to roll that on and then find some s hooks to pop onto the top bar... think that might work for a solution. |
I also need to unpick some long rows of sewing on Aidan's quilt and resew it so I can get his quilt to a top stage. I sewed half of it together yesterday but need to undo what Aidan did last week before he got frustrated. There is a pieced outer border to go still but the end is in sight!
Cooking, baking bread, hand and machine sewing... sounds like a wonderful day!
Linking up with Kathy and the other slow stitchers.

cooking and baking bread sounds wonderful - in fact it makes me want to go make some bread right now and I will!! it is cold here today - 20's still and will be chilly all week - but warmer than the 20's of today - the heat is on constantly - could use the fireplace but then the allergies go nuts and the sewing room at the back of the is freezing - only use the fireplace it seems if the power goes out - oh well, the cold won't last forever - I bet the 50's/30's feel cold to you when not used to it.
I'm loving Aidan's quilt!! I don't see why you need to pick anything out. Also... What time is dinner? Either option sounds yummy.
It is soup day at our house, too - similar temps in Colorado as in Florida, but for us it is a nice, warm day, lol! Hope you were successful with fixing up the batting on your hand quilting and have had some time for stitching.
These are the ones I sewed together. His.... are all picked out and need to be sewn correctly.
Sounds like a wonderful day! Enjoy rolling your quilt! Very exciting!
Plenty there to make slow Sunday dawdle along.
I made beef barley soup also yesterday, but ours was for dinner. So glad Aidan is feeling better. It is 6 degrees here today with a whole lot of wind. I am going to hibernate inside. Your quilt looks so pretty. I hope you remembered how to roll it.
