May 30

I got my new sewing cabinet today.  When not in use or when we have company, the cabinet folds up into just a piece of furniture.  When it's open, there is all sorts of quilting and storage space.  As well as space for kitty self-storage....  Mary

Spent the entire day working outside, weeding, planting, cleaning up.  The paisley blocks will have to wait until tomorrow.  It will be early to bed tonight with achy muscles that only get used like this a couple of times a year....  Mary
