First Finish (Corner Store)

This is a post that I have written a little differently from most of the posts I write. I am going to write and then post it right away. Normally, I write a few days ahead and schedule my posts so I am not in a rush to get something posted at the last second.

We had a nice New Year’s Eve and also a nice New Year’s Day. We went and saw Skyfall last night after going to dinner. Today we watched the Rose Parade, did some stuff around the house and then went to our BIL and SIL’s house for a potluck-football watching-socializing kind of day.

I planned on being at the machine a good portion of the day, but didn’t want to seem anti-social, so I worked on the Corner Store while watching the Rose Parade and on the Garden while over at SIL’s.

Why is this all relevant? Because I finished the Corner Store this morning! I wasn’t looking for such a big finish, but I do like to finish something on New Year’s Day as a way of setting the tone for the New Year. I suppose it is my version of a resolution since I don’t make the normal kind of resolutions.

I had a little bit of binding left and two repairs (don’t ask). Just stitching away for half an hour got the job done.

This quilt will go to my brother-in-law, who is ill. I hope he wraps up in it and feels people hugging him all the time.

Take a look at the last post about quilting this piece. It might be a long time until you read about me quilting again! 😉

    1. Thanks! I’ll bring it Saturday for you to see, then I will give it to my BIL. I am so relieved to have finished something. Hopefully, that bodes well for the year.
