Long weekend, busy weekend

Middle day of three day weekend. 9 a.m. I have finished Missed Deadlines I, II and III. The labels were a pain to do but the hangings turned out alright. The stitching on the back of one of them didn't look too hot so I took a magenta Sharpie and went over the stitching lines. The back looks great but when I flipped it over, I saw that the stitching on the front, originally white, is now slightly magenta in some places. But the effect is nice so I'm not obsessing. Not my best work, but finished.
Yesterday we went to Sew Sisters to buy batting (half the price of Fabricland's...) so I can progress on the baby quilts. I still have to go to Fabricland to buy backing materials. Hopefully at noon-ish so I can continue sewing until then and we'll probably combine the trip with a visit to my mother.
So the sewing plan for today is to finish ripping out stitches on an unfinished quilt in preparation for requilting, making journals and fabric journal covers for Jordie and Eli, and maybe placemats or a tablerunner for David and Judy.
But first a bite of breakfast.
