Small happy dance :) and up-coming trip

Thursday, our local quilt circle got together to make quilted jackets.
We'd done some last year, but these were different. I used some pretty
oriental-style fabrics to cover the sweatshirt that was the base of this
jacket, and I think it turned out fairly well -- though a bit busier
than I'd probably have ordinarily chosen. g Still, I've posted a photo
of it on my site. Just click on the More Miscellaneous link and scroll
right to the *bottom* of the page -- past the blue jacket and a few
other things until you get to the black/beige-y one.

One thing I learned while making this jacket was the value of
double-checking as you go along. I machine quilted everything (using my
walking foot for these straight lines) in a chevron pattern. But when I
went to put the sleeves back into the jacket, I discovered that I'd done
one of them completely sideways! Ack! So I practiced my frog stitching
and redid the quilting -- can't have one sleeve quilted up and down and
the other done sideways, after all! g I should have checked....

As for the trip, I'll only be gone for a few days, beginning in the
morning. I'm going to spend Thursday-Saturday holed up in a hotel with
two non-quilting friends from our old home town. I haven't seen them in
two years, so this will be fun, even though I won't be doing any
quilting or get a chance for S.E.X. At any rate, my DH will be home, as
will my ferocious QIs (Tuppence and Dexter). So any thoughts of a stash
raid on my measly supplies would be fruitless. g Save your gas for a
more worthwhile effort!
