Day 101

actually, this all happened two days ago,
but I've been busy since I took these pics


I made a bit of progress with the strip piecing 
on Wednesday morning.

I also dyed these two skeins of embroidery floss


I will be embroidering Maggie's family tree,
back to her great grandparents,
on the back of the quilt,
so I needed floss to match some of the fabrics
on the quilt front, right?
It's been quite fun planning out this part of the quilt:


I'm going to get it all written out on the backing fabric
today, and then start embroidering for real.

thanks for stopping by

have a great weekend

peace!
