Anchors aweigh....

Okay, I just "Googled" that phrase 'cause I wasn't sure if it was "anchors aweigh" or "anchors away". Turns out that Anchors Aweigh is the fight song for the US Naval Academy written in 1906. But it also turns out that "aweigh" means its been completed...that is the anchor has been pulled up. So....it is kind of anchors away too. Okay, enough of that. This anchor block is from The Quiltmaker's Shoppe in Arlington. (Thanks, Tracey, for pointing out that I had relocated Granny's to Arlington for a few hours yesterday - oops!) Their block is appliqued onto a pieced background. We shrunk it to a 6" block. We had this jute "ribbon" hanging around that we made the rope out of - looks good, don't you think?

Monday, Monday...it was good! Jan W finished up with a few of her students that didn't quite get their sweatshirts done before the 4-H kiddos arrived Friday. The sweatshirt jackets were wonderful! My backordered spray adhesive finally arrived. Diane cut some of a new Asian group to take home and put the top together for us. Tomorrow Jan and I will be trying to figure out what to put on the back of a topper I finished yesterday, and then I'm going to shamelessly beg her to quilt it for me! Tracey is going to take our Quilt Tour quilt to the Pieceables meeting tomorrow night for me. They asked all the shops to bring them for "show and tell"! Very nice of them. Harriet and one of her aunts stopped by after a 90th birthday celebration for one of the other aunties. Her Aunt Gwen had some Dresden plates a woman had given to her and she was looking for a background to applique them onto. She decided on the green solid, which made them stand out. The lady doesn't know it, but Gwen is going to give it back to her all finished, as this woman lost most everything she had in a fire recently. What a nice lady, but then who would think Harriet would have anything but the nicest of aunties!?!

Well, I am tired tonight. I might see if I can put the first border on the daisy quilt in a bit. Otherwise, it's off to bed at an early hour. Have a wonderful evening!
