Friday, after a lovely Thanksgiving gathering, I was back in my sewing room as Banjo Man cleaned up the kitchen.

Thank you, Banjo Man.  You’re the best.

This is the border, pinned to two sides only. The Native American quilters did that a lot and I like the look.

I have never done so much “quilt math” in my life.

And then there was the basting on the kitchen island Sunday afternoon. I always forget what a big job that is.  But when it was finished, hours later, my reward was to stretch out on the couch and watch a new episode of “Homestead Rescue”.  Season 11 has begun and I am so happy about that.  Banjo Man reluctantly watches it with me and does a lot of muttering under his breath.

I love my Home Depot clamps.

And today, as I wait for my new thread (six different colors to match the diamonds on the star points) to be delivered by UPS, the excitement builds. I can’t wait to quilt this!

And since it’s a gift, I won’t post any more photos until after Christmas.
