the dulcet tones of...

...Bon Iver carries me through my Saturday night. By the way, "Perth" is my favorite song on that album. Not my favorite song ever. My favorite song ever is "Love Song" by The Cure. And my second favorite song is "Dramamine" by Modest Mouse. But maybe "Perth" is third. I just love it so much.

I have been sewing. My disappearing 9-patch became a quaint little cot quilt, titled Lolly Fields. Piper, before she got too tired, helped me organize my squared-off blocks. What a love.

After a lot of sewing, I have a finished quilt top! It's a little wibbly. All my on-point quilt tops are wibbly. Quilters, any suggestions? I love this look but I'm frustrated with the stretchy factor. Argh. Anyway, it's cute!

I especially love the effect of the white against the bright colors...but the borders have to be my favorite. How can a skinny border/fat border combo ever go wrong? I think never!

And now that I've finished a quilt top, it's time to spend an embarrassing amount of time catching up on my writing. Let's not even talk about how far behind I am. Why is it that whenever I have a sewing deadline, all I want to do is write...and whenever I have a writing deadline, I am suddenly inspired to sew? I usually just go with it, but this month has been difficult!

Oh, before I go, there have been a few issues with subscriptions. The advice of my senior tech support officer (aka Mr Poppleton) was to ask everyone who has subscribed to delete their subscription and add it again. That should fix it, and if not, let me know in the comments!

Cheers and see you tomorrow for the week's plan!
