My husband and I went to bed REALLY early last night, as in right after 9 PM. We have gotten into the bad habit of staying up too late to get up early. We just ran out of steam last night. He puts in many many work hours, and I just mess around for hours every day!
When we awakened this AM, he said, "I think someone is taking a shower." That would have been odd since it was 6 AM. It was raining, so I thought that was the water sound he heard. But when I came down to the sewing room (to read, of course), what to my wondering eyes should appear, but my daughters' handiwork, and a quilt so dear?
Susanna was finishing the 30's print Rail Fence you see at the top. That is the sight that met my eyes when I walked into the sewing room. When I went to bed last night, she was still piecing the units. I had been ironing for her during the "sewing" time, and then I hand appliqued a few more units for my Hearts & Gizzards. She explained that they stayed up all night sewing. I couldn't do that at my age and not have serious repercussions the next
