I’m continuing to stitch on the Urban Renewal quilt top.\u00a0 This week, I’ve added the filler pieces to even out the edges and included a narrow black border.\u00a0 This required lots more hand piecing which I have been thoroughly enjoying.<\/p>\n

I then laid out the top to decide if\"Fillers<\/a> I would use a pieced border.\u00a0 After auditioning several including braids, bricks, piano keys and plain fabric, I decided to go with flying geese.<\/p>\n

There was already a box of half-square triangles saved from other projects so it was easy work to machine stitch them together for the geese.\u00a0 I’m not thrilled with the look but it’s the best decision I can make today.\u00a0 I do like how the border has increased the size of the top.<\/p>\n

This evening I’m trying to decide if I want to hand stitch them to the top or zip them through the sewing machine.\u00a0 I’m in the mood to watch movies and hand stitch so that’s what I will probably do.\u00a0 With our cooler weather, I don’t mind having it in my lap.\u00a0 I’ve begun thinking about how I want to hand quilt it.<\/p>\n

Jacob was here for the weekend.\u00a0 We just love that he drives down and visits often.\u00a0 This time, I made lots of handmade egg noodles to go with the mushroom chicken he loves.\u00a0 I also baked sugar free banana bread we always enjoy.\u00a0 He was able to take home some homemade chicken broth, 2 big bags of dried homemade noodles and 1\/2 loaf of banana bread for enjoying later.<\/p>\n

He left just an hour ago and I already miss him.<\/p>\n
