All I did was call my husbands attention to a loose tile in the bathroom! Actually I had been doing this for a couple of months---but this time I raised my voice a little more. Anyway, we got a contraction to come in, with the intention of having a new tile floor put down. Little did we know!
We ended up replacing the entire floor down to the joints. Since we were tearing everything up---why not totally renovate it. So that is just what has been going on. Since this will be an absolutely beautiful bath, the other bathrooms don't look so good----so---I will have contractors in the house all summer. Needless to say, my budget for fabric will be affected a little! (to say the least)!

I finally finished the black and white quilt. I have decided I do not really like "modern quilting". It takes too long and uses too much thread! I wanted to take this off the frame so badly, but I decided I was going to push on and finish. It is a pattern by J. Gehering (spelling) that was in a magazine. Not sure what I will do with it, but this is one of those things I can say "been there, done that, got the t-shirt".
Well wanted to check in. Bath should be done by next week and I can move back into my bedroom and my bed!
Have a blessed Easter Holiday!
Patricia, your quilt looks fab! Classically modern, if I can say that.
ReplyDeleteMy hubby would love a quilt like that.
Good Luck with the bathroom! It's worth it.
Happy Easter!
Is dense quilting a feature in modern quilting? I love the quilt though...is there a magazine for MQers?
ReplyDeleteThe bathroom remodel story reminded me of Etta James singing "I asked my baby for a nickel and he gave me a 20 dollar bill, asked him for a little drink of liquor and he gave me a whiskey still"
Have fun with the remodel!
