I stayed in my nightgown until 5pm yesterday.  I really didn't get much done, but oh boy....was it ever nice to not have anything else to do....

The first thing I did was another Dear Jane Block.  One blog that I check regularly is Dear Baby Jane, and F-2 Kaleidoscope was demo'd on this past Monday and once I saw it broken down into smaller sections, I thought - 'oh, this is a breeze!' - and it was!

My next job was a block for the guild tinner project.  I thought about sharing a photo of the block I made, but it's all supposed to be a secret. So maybe I'll just slip a photo in, and you should all pretend that you didn't see it. 

Then I spent the rest of the day working on a quilted Messenger Bag to carry my laptop in.  I've got the outer part done, but I can't seem to wrap my mind around the inside parts.  I've employed my seam ripper more times than I want to admit.  But it came to me in the middle of the night how it is supposed to go together, so I feel a finish coming on!

News on the Baby: I'm fortunate to have quilty-friend Jacqui who knows her stuff when it comes to vintage sewing machines.

She let me know that my machine was made in 1947 in Anderson, South Carolina.

AND she told me I had the wrong instruction booklet for my machine, and traded the proper booklet - YAY! I hope to give the baby a workout next week.

No sewing this morning.  I have paperwork to catch up on, and then I'm getting my hair done at 10.  But this afternoon is still looking good!
