What did I do on my day of non-work? I quilted, of course.
I found an old applique block made from the leftovers of my Hidden Star Sampler:
I showed this quilt when I appeared on Quilt It! Did you see that episode? I had so much fun filming with them and I love how the show turned out. They made me sound much smarter than I really am!
Back to my Sunday sewing: I pieced the appliqued block into a small quilt (approx. 20"x 20"). I layered it with cotton batting and wool batting. I went to my lovely Sweet Sixteen and fitted it with a super-fine needle to accommodate my 100-weight thread.
I did a little bit of this:
and a little bit of that:

Answer: I do not really mind if they do since I would not quilt without them.
I did not finish the quilt, but here is the progress so far:
Can today be a non-work day, too, so I can keep working on this little quilt?
'fraid not.

I will definitely go take a look at that Quilt it episode, that is a beautiful sampler quilt. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the quilting on your applique so far, just beautiful.
Deb, your quilting is awesome as always! Do you prefer the Sweet 16 over the longarm?

Funny, first I didn't see it was your post (I'm using Google reader), but I was guessing. Such beautiful quilting again, Debby! I love the quilt itself too, with all the stars. I'm practicing :) Oh, and did I mention I saw You on Quilt it!?
