A hot weekend

Summer has arrived in Virginia. We're hitting temperatures around 90. That's not unusual. It's just summer and that means it's a good time to stay inside.
​

I got my two veterans quilts quilted and they are ready for binding. I might get them finished this coming weekend after I get the string quilt top done and the stringy mess cleaned up.
​

The next 2 quilts are basted and ready to start quilting. That will also probably not happened until the weekend. I've got some appointments today, I work the voting precinct tomorrow  and the we have quilt club sewing days Wednesday and Thursday.
​

I made some progress on the string quilt. Only 3 more sets of diamonds and I can put this one together.
​

I also got the rest of the Farm quilt cut out! It was nice to clear that off the cutting table. Now this is packed up and ready to take to Maine.
​

But the big project of the weekend was cleaning the basement. We use a wood stove in the winter for heat so after the season the basement needs a deep clean. Plus, it was perfect timing to clean and reorganize the dye space for post-business use. It's a true deep clean that includes mopping a cement floor. I hate doing it but it feels good to be done. I proposed to Chris that we eat dinner on this floor last night. He didn't accept the offer.

​Tomorrow I'll be at the voting precinct from 5am until 8pm.
