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&#8217;s house for a potluck-football watching-socializing kind of day.<\/p>\n<p>I planned on being at the machine a good portion of the day, but didn&#8217;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&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16246\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16246\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2013\/01\/first-finish-2\/pict3010sm\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-16246\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-16246\" alt=\"Corner Store Finished\" src=\"http:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/PICT3010sm-300x284.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"284\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/PICT3010sm-300x284.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/PICT3010sm.jpg 966w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16246\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Corner Store Finished<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Why is this all relevant? Because I finished the Corner Store this morning! I wasn&#8217;t looking for such a big finish, but I do like to finish something on New Year&#8217;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&#8217;t make the normal kind of resolutions.<\/p>\n<p>I had a little bit of binding left and two repairs (don&#8217;t ask). Just stitching away for half an hour got the job done.<\/p>\n<p>This quilt will go to my brother-in-law, who is ill.
