I received my 'reveal' gift and card from my Splitcoast Summer Secret Sister this week. She has been the absolute greatest! This is the card and the contents of the package. I can't wait to create something with the goodies!
Last weekend I started on the TG quilt. The name of the quilt is changing day by day. I don't know what I'll finally end up calling it. I'm also not sure what size it will be. I planned to make a small quilt for my granddaughter. Then I thought, well, a twin size quilt might be better. But realizing my limitations due to my time, attention span, and pain/fatigue, I think it will be smaller as I originally planned. When the grandchildren are big enough to need a bed size quilt, I'll teach them how to make their own.
I've done a little online shopping and placed a couple of orders this week. I'm getting some Cricut replacement blades and cutting mats since I'm planning to be using it quite a bit in the next few weeks/months/however long. I also ordered the backing (can't remember the name) for fabric so I can cut shapes for appliqueing on quilts. I'll be using it on this quilt. And my most important purchase, a Spyder monitor color calibration tool. I have no idea how accurate the colors are in the photos I've been posting. Next week, hopefully, I can be sure. But then, I don't know that everyone else's monitors are calibrated, so many may still not be seeing them accurately. Just the chances you take, I suppose.
