While The Cat's Away...

My Cat-Ernie-is gone this weekend on a halibut fishing trip.  

The Mouse--me--is playing.

On his way out of town,

he dropped the beast off at the spa.

Instead of a weekend full of quilting tops from Mt. ToBeQuilted,

 I came up with a new plan-

finish more tops.

I had put my Ambassador machine in this cabinet a few weeks ago

with the intention of sewing in the living room in front of the tv.

I don't have a tv in my sewing room.

I had yet to open it until this weekend. 

I have done so much while Ernie has been gone.

I make a list of 3 household to do projects, 

hurry and get them done so I can sew without guilt.

Project 1 was to finish this top.

I had made a mistake on row 6 while at retreat and had already taken the row apart.

I thought maybe the other rows were wrong too 

but I waited until row 6 was sewn back together and checked them.

Thank goodness they were all good and no more un-sewing had to happen.

This is now a top with the backing and binding selected, waiting to be quilted.

Town Square is is ready for inner and outer borders.

I love this, it's so bright and happy.

What will happen today?

I have a couple ideas....

but first I must take care of those 3 things on my list.

The Cat will be home tomorrow so this Mouse must get playing.
