Getting ready

The batik quilt is finished!  It's quilted, bound, washed, dried and labeled, ready to be given to its new owners.  The pattern is called Bits and Pieces.  I have used this pattern several times, using various fabrics.  Once I had prints with large vegetables.  Another time the recipient asked for pink and purple.  And I did one using some of these same fabrics, incorporating the leftovers from that one into the current project.  I really like these colors and hope my friends will, too.

Several quilts are waiting for my attention.  I'm not sure which I will work on next.

I finished dealing with Liz's papers yesterday, so the desk where I was working is clear, ready for E to use when she comes.

Last night we pulled out the floor plans for the green and blue rooms, placing the various pieces of furniture in different configurations, trying to determine the best arrangement for each room.  Adding a queen bed to the guest room presents a challenge and will probably require us to rent a storage unit, at least temporarily.  I've been reading about mattresses, looking at various websites, thinking about what I want to replace our current mattress.  Randy has taken on the task of moving the TV with all its accoutrements downstairs.  He will also put locks on various cabinets to keep little hands from getting into cleaners and other harsh products.
