I played "hooky" yesterday...

As much as it pained me to do it, I decided to stay home and work on this Zenith quilt top yesterday rather than going to my quilting class. I missed seeing all of my friends, but it was the right choice since I finished getting it assembled.

 

I plan to work on finishing up my Midnight at the Oasis quilt and I need the design wall in order to do that. Now that the Zenith top is finished, I can take it down and put it into the to be quilted pile. And, the MATO can go back up on the wall. I'm more than half way to being finished and what I do have left is easy.

I'm still working on the cargo duffel. I had to lay off for a couple of days since I was waiting for my zipper to arrive. I wish I could have found a zipper I like better, but the one I got will work just fine. I was looking for one with with two pulls so that I can open it from either end and this one does, but it's not pretty. I hope to have time to work on it this weekend, although...

On Saturday I'm taking Kathy Doughty's Modern Wedge class in Orange County. Yippee! To tell the truth, I don't even care if I get much done in terms of starting/making a quilt. I'm more interested in meeting Kathy and listening to her quilting and fabric philosophy. I've been following her on her blog for years and greatly admire her fabulous ability to combine interesting/unusual fabrics. To say that I'm excited is an understatement. :)

Take care,
