I have all the pieces fused down, but I won't be able to get it all stitched down this weekend.  The weather is great and I need to get some garden work done before I go to Reno on Monday.  Also laundry, grocery shopping, etc.

My Dia de los Muertos quilt is completely finished now -- binding sewn down, hanging sleeve attached and label sewn on.  Now I'll just put it away until next Halloween time when I'll hang it.

Yesterday I started on Esther Aliu's 2018 BOM:  Queen's Garden.  I won't get January's block done before February's comes out (the 15th of each month), but I'll get a good start on it before on leave on the 12th for a week in Reno.  I'm doing it in subdued solid colors.  It looks rather boring now, but I'm hoping it'll be like a blank canvas for Julia Quiltoff to do her magic on.  It'll also help when I get the flowers on those stems.  Maybe tomorrow before Anthony gets here to work in the garden.

I've completed the four floral blocks of Diamond Hill.  This morning I began to bind the Dia de los Muertos quilt.  I'll do the hand stitching while watching TV in the evenings.
