I haven't felt great today. My husband took vacations days yesterday and today and asked this morning if I would like to go junkin' at the antique mall. He thought it would take my mind off of how I feel. What a sweetie-pie!
I of course, could not say no to junkin'! I found a couple of nice things to add to my stash:
A vintage Tatting booklet, an old book of music, some vintage millinery flowers and a small package of old crocheted lace.
We stopped at Wendy's for a little tiny cheeseburger and then came home. I put my Corned Beef in the Nesco (I don't cook! Really I don't!) and now it's ready for some salad for tonight and tomorrow night.
While that was cooking, I played some more with my Marie Antoinette Mixed Media Art Quilt:
I added some do-dads to it and put the back on. Traditionally, I would have put a "proper" binding on it but this is an art quilt so I cut the back larger than I needed, folded it over the top and topped stitched it down. I'm quite pleased with it!
It isn't done yet though. I added some glitter to the flowers and it's drying now. I have a few more embellishments for it which I'll add tomorrow and hopefully, I can get it on the hanger. I still have to paint that so we'll see.
Oh my, Marie is just beautiful. I love what you have created so far. Can't wait to see the finished quilt.

Marie is looking better and better. You have a sweet husband to take you junking...he obviously knows exactly what you need to make you feel better. Good man!
