Last night I started quilting on Tennessee August. I have a stencil with four hearts that fits into the squares nicely. I started quilting in the squares and like the way it looks. I'm using a burnt orange color thread. I think I will also quilt lines a quarter inch from the seams of the 4" squares, but not along the four patch seams.
I made the monte cristo sandwiches last night for supper. Tonight I am either going to make meat loaf or cabbage rolls. It depends on if my son is going to want to eat early or not. The cabbage rolls would take a while to cook.
It's day ten of our bathroom remodel. Here's a summary (keep in mind this is an 8'x8' bathroom and we are using 12" tiles):
Day 1: Pick up concrete board from lumber yard.
Day 2: Cut concrete board and fit pieces, puzzle fashion, to floor.
Day 3: Remove and replace toilet (the only reason this was completed in a day was because I absolutely refused to be without a toilet overnight). This step was completed at 9:30pm. Toilet leaks at water inlet and where tank is bolted to bowl. Put towel down and go to bed.
Day 4: Tighten bolts to correct leaks.
Day 5: Screw down concrete board to existing floor.
Day 6: Husband congratulates self on completing this step.
Day 7: Husband rests.
Day 8: Husband rests some more.
Day 9: Draw one line on floor dividing it in half.
As I said, this is day 10. If this tile isn't down in the next few days, I'm going to put it down myself!
