The basement is the same with only my smaller design wall up. The carpet install is scheduled...May 29th boo-hoo... sooo long to wait. I'm getting antsy about it! :)
I miss my big design wall terribly, hell; I miss all my stuff and knowing where 90% of it is.
The part for my HQ came in and Paul installed it. The stall lights are still on but it seems to work. I haven't even had time to load anything to try it 'for real'. Today is my 7th day in a row of work! Tomorrow I have so many things to do--haha it's not even realistic but I will try!
The design on the wall is called Fire Escape. It's a Terry Atkinson design. And as is typical with her stuff-clear directions and pictures. It's going together easily.
I think if I were in my old sewing room (or the new one), I would have had the top cut and pieced in one day.
sigh....the good ole days of efficient sewing at long stretches of time...sigh
I've only had to un-sew one seam as I had one of the the white 'steps' blocks turned...Easy for me to turn a block on any day but way easier working on the table top. (yah, that was a little whine-I smacked myself and threatened time out if it happens again...which actually sounds rather appealing at this point)
buwahahaa
This quilt will be twin size so it has 12 rows. The picture shows 4 but I did another late last night.

BIG NEWS AND MOMMY BRAGGING ALERT!!!
******
Meghan was offered and accepted a position in the CV/ICU unit where she is doing her preceptor (interning)!
She has worked several 12 hours shifts and a couple 8hr ones. She says after the 12 hours ones the 8 hour ones seem to fly by!
Yesterday the family of her patient took her aside and thanked her and said she was the most compassionate nurse they've ever had.
It made her day.
Mine too.
Damn I am so proud of this girl!
the official graduation picture!

Congratulations on Meghan's job offer! You have every reason to be proud. I love the way your Fire Escape quilt is looking. Hang in there, you'll be up an running in your refurbished and newly organized sewing space very soon.
The quilt looks great! And the room - you'll get there!! You daughter is beautiful - you have every right to be so, so proud of her! o:)
Great looking start. You are allowed to whine. Taking away a quilters sewing space is a form of torture LOL!! Congratulations on your daughter's job offer. That's the kind of news that makes a mother sleep better!
I like the greens. It's going to be a great quilt. Congratulations to Meghan on her new job.
