Happy Birthday to Me!

It's always fun to get things in the mail, but there's just nothing quite like getting packages of fabric or sewing accessories.  Joel's parents got me the extension table to my sewing machine a couple weeks back for my birthday, and there might have been a little, happy dance involved when the UPS man showed up to my door. 

The extension is already coming in handy with all of the quilting I need to do in these next couple of weeks.  I can't believe how much of a difference it makes when quilting.  My current project is a quilt my friend made for her baby.  I started doing all of the outlining last night.  It's taking me slightly longer than usual because the back is minky and I'm nervous I'll mess it up.  So far so good.  The real test will be when I start the Free Motion Quilting.  I'm hoping to have all the outlining done by tomorrow.  Fingers crossed that my baby cooperates with my plans and sleeps this evening when the other kiddos go down to bed.  :)
