Did a little strawberry picking this morning! Unforunately the field was pretty picked over so we only got 1 quart. We're hoping next weekend we can get some more. They're a little tart but still so much better than store-bought!
Finally finished the top and backing for the Hope Valley Quilt. The top was done, but then there was a hiccup. When I was making the top I ran out of the beige fabric. I went to pick up some more but accidently got a very slightly different color. I didn't notice this until it was sewn together. So I had to go back and get the right color, rip out to two pieces that were wrong, and fix it. Gahh! I've done a lot of seam ripping on this quilt, but I think in the end it will be worth it. I'm pretty happy with the back as well. I'm basting it tonight here at home and than hopefully I'll start quilting it sometime this week. I'm still not sure how I want to quilt it.. :)
