A good Memorial Day!

Today was a very busy day.  I slept in until almost 8, and then machine quilted for an hour (using up a single bobbin). Then, it was time to head to the VA Hospital to help serve meals to the veterans at the nursing home there and to take the opportunity to talk with them. 

And, a special shout out to all veterans:  Thank you for your service!

Once home, I again hit the sewing machine, once again using up a single bobbin (bobbin #2). After some laundry and housework, I went for bobbin #3.  I tried to finish bobbin #4 this evening, but my shoulders are simply tired out.

The good news is that the center area is now all quilted, as is the first of the four border panels.  And, I'm about a third of the way on the second border panel.  If I had to guess, I'd say that I have another bobbin and a half left to go.  This is a good thing.  At this pace, I should finish well before the mid-July deadline.
