It’s a long weekend here in Canada. And a much needed one. But as you read this, I’m probably spending my holiday Monday sitting in my chair, in front of a fan trying not to sweat too much. Saturday, our heat pump conked out on us (yes… the one we had installed less than two years ago… no… I’m not happy). The company that installed it can’t get someone here until Wednesday.

It rain most of the weekend (much needed), so thankfully it wasn’t killer hot. We were able to open the windows and get the breeze moving through.

Saturday, Burton and I headed up to the studio and got one of the Christmas quilts charted out…

With that done, we got to cutting.

With that done, Dave decided we should try changing the HVAC filter to see if that got the heat pump working again…. so we headed out to buy one and grab dinner. Sadly, the filter did not solve the problem.

Sunday, after a long snuggle in the morning, listening to the rain fall outside the window… Burton and I decided we might as well get the top sewn.

Lemmy joined us for laying the squares out. And slowly, row by row….

The top came together by dinner time. It finished up at about 61″ x 72″

I still have to dig through the bins for a back (It was far too muggy to be muscling the bins out of the corner then back in again), but we are going with a scrappy binding.

Now I just have to get the top done for his sister’s quilt, then I can book a quilting weekend with Mom!
