I feel like I can do a few small finishing projects. I need to piece some batting. I need to make a binding. I need to make sure the back for SfSB#2 is large enough (mom made it before she went on vacation and before I had finished the top), etc. There are those things that I would assign to an assistant, if I were a fancy enough quiltmaker to have an assistant. Since I don&#8217;t, I&#8217;ll just do it since I am in the right frame of mind.<\/p>\n<p>Have a great weekend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You might remember this bag from the end of 2010.
