A CUTTING DAY

Today I've done a lot of cutting. Pillow Cases (2) - with fish, Dresses (4) - 3 with fish and one without, 1 pattern I've made before and 2 that I haven't, and red minky squares to go with the puppy quilt. Tomorrow I'll cut out one more dress that my neice has commissioned for her sweet Mabry, at least some of the squares for the soon to be Neal baby girl quilt so I can start embroidering and then if time is left I'll do a little sewing also. I've got quite a few projects lined up -- a tote to finish, 5 dresses, 1 large and 1 small minky blanket and an embroidered quilt, plus a quilt top ready to quilt and another that needs to be sandwiched and then quilted. I'll post some pictures tomorrow.

I watched a three part video today on how to use glue when binding a quilt and how it turns out perfect every time -- they were by Sharon Schamber. She sure does make it look easy. I'm going to try the glue technique on my next quilt. Her binding looked perfect.

I saw a great corn recipe at Back Porch Musings and plan to try it when the kids come in a couple of weeks. All the recipes she posted looked yummy but this corn recipe is different and SUPER easy.

It's been a cold fall day - except that it's spring outside. We've had a good bit of rain the past couple of days but the sun was around alot this afternoon. Wish the weekend was two days longer but I'll settle for having tomorrow.

Hope nobody had any really bad storms when all the weather passed by.
