New AC/Heating Unit and Some Fleur de Lis

Booker Mechanical - Call them!

Gotta love me some  AC Guys!  I must have 20 quilts in the den, draped over every imaginable surface, and not a one in this picture!  Go figure.
 
They have worked furiously since 5:30 am.....yes they got here early!  They finished up about noon-ish.  They tested everything and it all works.  Franks wrested the temp gun from my fingers and has been walking around shooting temps and it is considerably cooler coming out of the vents.  Like nearly 20 degrees cooler.  (Did I say I was right?)


I took the opportunity to put the Saints Quilt on the frame.  I printed out 16 Fleur de Lis and quilted 4 of them into the center of the topmost 4 blocks.  I was not happy with the way they got lost in the pattern.  I was thinking the gold variegated thread would have stood out more.  So I did some swirly things in the interior of the fleurs.

And I am deciding what to do with the rest.  I can do a stipple meander in black.  Or add more fleurs set overlapping the blocks.

I am not sure if I really love it yet, I think it will turn out well in the long run.  And the fleur de lis are very easy to quilt....... once you get past that first one!  LOL.  My advice is to have a plan BEFORE you put the needle down!

Sunday Stash Report And Fleur de Lis

Not much this week.....darn, I have such good intentions and I just can't get stuff done!  This week stalled because it was an emotional one with hospice and nursing home meetings and the CAAWS melange.  Next week will be better, I promise myself!

I worked on the Fleur de Lis for my designer friend Judy at Mike and Mo Designs so that is the 1 yard

usage.  I love the piece! (it still needs binding to be done, in fact, I already counted it!)

I am sitting on the Halloween Quilt, I STILL need to complete that tiny piece of the back and I can sandwich it and put it into a pile for the Annual Quilt Your Quilts Challenge in June.  Prizes, people, come join in!

Just let me know how many you get done by inches, see here for details.  And it needs to have the binding put on.  Right PattyA?  We want bindings, too........aughhhh!  I need to learn to work FAST!
