Weekend Update

This is what Alana's Lady of the Lake quilt looks like this week. All 480 510 HSTs (including the 6" ones) are sewn, trimmed, and reassembled into the sub-units of the 30 blocks. It's January 13, it needs to be done by Christmas 2008. I am SO on top of my game with this one. Ha! (Won't last.)

I'm thinking that Phillip's quilt will be a traditional Sticks and Stones (rail fences and 9 patches) but I really have no clue about the colour. I know nothing about him anymore other than that he has poor choice in friends and he smokes in the basement when his parents aren't home. So he's a typical 16 year old boy, yes? Black and grey maybe, but ugh, that colour was depressing when I did the floating pyramids for Duncan a few years ago. Maybe grey and red, or blue and white if he's a Maple Leafs fan.

I knitted just a little on Tori's sweater, but it still looks like nothing so much as a badly hung up towel, so again, no pictures.

No noteworthy cooking or baking this week, either. Sorry folks. I'm baking bread tomorrow, maybe it'll be spectacular. I'll snap a pic if it is.

And what else? VELCO is running a new power line through the woods a few property lines over from us, and since the snow's mostly gone but it was cool enough for mud to be minimal, Daniel and I walked down through our woods to see what's up. Fortunately from our house, the view of poles is minimal now and will be even less when there's leaves on the trees. We did see a few spots that will require some No Trespassing signs since there's a right of way that comes close to our property line and a path that leads right to our back door. I took my camera to record the devastation (and it really was devastation) but got some pretty shots too.
