I didn’t make much progress on the quilting front.

I’m waiting….waiting….waiting….

I’m at the mercy of the US delivery services!

My Fat Quarter Shop order is finally on its way and will arrive on Friday. Yippee. I’m waiting for this fabric before I continue with the Moda Blockheads3 quilt-a-long. I’ve ordered four new 1/2 yards of the Spotted fabrics. I’m three blocks behind but they look relatively easy so not too worried about catching up!

Since I decided to hand-quilt the Norah Quilt, I had to get new tools. (New skill–new toys!)

First I needed a quilting hoop and that has arrived. It’s so WIDE!

i also ordered Pearle Cotton thread for the actual quilting, No update on that arrival. And I need new needles and a thimble. It would sure be a lot easier to go to a sewing store to get this stuff but I really don’t want to go into Hobby Lobby or Joanne’s just yet.

So while I was waiting I did baste the Norah Quilt and started embroidering the quilt label. I usually use my sewing machine to do the labels but decided that if I’m hand-quilting. I should also hand embroider!

Not much to post about but I’ll make up for it next week!
