Prep work....

 I really enjoyed my day off Thursday. The morning was lazy and then I made a batch of soft pretzels. They were yummy! I might have sent this photo to Greg at work. He loves pretzels =).


I marked and cut Endless Diamond parts for the next 3 blocks.


Picked some fabrics for flowers. I'll hand baste some of the circles and I'll just needle turn the purple and blues. 


A bunch of vines were also made. These will be for the last border and all the corners and a few might stick out here and there for a flower or two.


I also got this little one finished! I used a special batting so it should be able to be used as a hot pad on the table. I believe it is about 9 inches square.



Not too bad for a day off.

The pretzels look really good! Sometimes it feels so rewarding to spend a good amount of time with prep work. Looks like you are all set now! ~Jeanne

Yummy pretzels! Hope one was saved for Greg! It's so nice to have some time for all that prepping - now you have plenty of stitching to keep busy with. Love your hot pad too - I always like brights against black!

Love how the little quilt with bright Hourglass blocks turned out! Didn't that start as an RSC project?
