Weekend Progress

It's been a pretty productive weekend so far. Hole in One is quilted and 3 sides of the binding are sewn down. Month 1 of the Cobblestone Lane blocks is done. Nature's Chorus has been loaded on the quilting frame. I've knitted another inch on the sweater front. Also did some Christmas shopping yesterday and put out some decorations. We still have to haul the Christmas tree upstairs so we can decorate it.

Time to wind some bobbins and get Nature's Chorus quilted. I think now that it's cold outside I'll get more flimsies quilted because I won't want to go out. I normally do the binding right away but I may focus on getting them quilted and work on the binding at night while we're watching TV.

Speaking of which, we got our Christmas present early. Hubby has been wanting to get a new HDTV for several years now. Well we decided to take the plunge a couple weeks ago and "just do it". We had to upgrade to a HD DVR receiver and last week the Geek Squad came out and made sure all components were working together. I'm absolutely LOVING the DVR. One because I can record movies/shows that hubby won't want to watch and then I can watch them some other time. Two because now I have satellite upstairs again in the room where the quilting frame is. Now I can "watch" TV while I'm quilting. Three, I can record The Biggest Loser so I can watch the shows when I'm on the treadmill. I really wish they would have the seasons on DVD, but since they don't, this is the next best thing! The shows are such an inspiration to me!!!

Now it's time to get off this computer and get another top quilted!
