Date: 
14 November 2009 to 4 January 2010
Recipient: 
Emily (Jon and Ashley's daughter)
Pattern: 
Drunkard's Path
Level of completion: 
Completed and given away

So far, this one's pretty simple. It's just a way for me to play around with a lot of the scraps I have on-hand.  The idea is to use the Drunkard's Path templates that Jeff gave me for my birthday, and play with color.  It's going to be a child's quilt, simple and bright.  I'm turning the wedge pieces inward to create circles.  Should be six columns wide; each column will be its own color scheme.  I'll fade from dark-interior / light-exterior on one side to the opposite (light-interior / dark exterior) on the other.

Tales from the Furlough #1: not dead, no video

Furlough, night one. A lazy night drive, a stop off at Sonic for tots and limeade, leads us to north Georgia.

Most of the wedding party is out making a late-night run to Waffle House. I need sleep more than I need caffeine, so I'm staying here at the house instead, winding down slowly and typing myself to sleep. Jeff has the video camera and I trust he'll capture anything that's awesome.
