Weekend Quilting

It was a nice weekend as I was able to FINALLY (yes I'm shouting because I'm so happy) finish the quilt top for Mel's quilt.  Now I'm playing around with label designs trying to decide what I'd like to do.  Any suggestions?

Colors seem to 'pop' more in person -- blue orange purple and green

I also managed to read two novels.  Hubby likes to stay  up late on weekends so we tend to catch up on our reading if there's nothing else going on.  Being empty nesters, we tend to sleep in later in the mornings. 

I enjoyed reading these books and am now ready to pick up the third one in the series titled, "Knit the Season".  I hesitate to because when I pick up a book, it's hard to put it down.  Within the past two weeks I also finished Sue Grafton's latest -- "V is for Vengence" and now have to wait patiently for the next one in that series.  *sigh* 

At the moment, I'm in between jobs with a lot of time on my hands.  I could be getting my home organized, doing the 'housewifey' thing with laundry, ironing, etc. sometimes I just want to read or quilt...both tend to cause me to forget everything else. 

One of my next projects is crocheting.  I want to do a granny square afgan surrounding the squares below in black.  It seems my grandmother had one like this when I was growing up.  I'd like to make one for me and one for each of my sons. 

This is something I can in the evenings when I want to watch a program with hubby so it will probably take me a few years.
