  • For those devoted readers who cannot get enough of the mundaneness of my life, I forgot to mention two other items of interest.

    First, I finished the 65-fabric challenge quilt.  Monday after quilting (for me and visiting a friend for Marisol) and snacking with IMO and Iltflinthills, Marisol and I stopped by the Central Library for the Johnson County system on 87th Street to see the quilts on display. 

    Bea Oglesby's quilts were beautiful.  (If you click on the link, you then want to click sequentially on:  Classes and Events; then Art in the Stacks; and Central Resource Library Exhibits.)  I was to surprised to discover that one of the quilts Ms. Oglesby had made was exactly the same pattern as my 65-fabric challenge quilt.

    Second, Marisol, The Professor (but only because we were all in the car), and I did shop at Macy's for internship clothes for Marisol.  Believe it or not, but because of the clearance sale and a coupon, Marisol got a nice new black suit for only $30.14 (which includes the tax).  Marisol and I were feeling pretty proud of our shopping skills afterwards.
