I am now 35% done with the quilting on the current t-shirt quilt. This is what I got done:
At work the crew is busy filling in the piling footers with a special type of compacting sand. On the left you can see some concrete wall units - the light gray bits. More will be added to increase the height as the area gets filled in.
I was standing on the steps to get in the job trailer when I take these pictures. The dump trucks of sand pull in the gate and it is close to the trailer.
They dump their load then the excavator and skidsteer spread out the sand. There were guys with shovels yesterday filling in areas between the pilings.
They are at it again today and the trailer shakes with the vibrations from the roller, sheepsfoot and the trucks. A sheepsfoot is a roller that has dimples on it - kind of like if you would reverse the spaces in a waffle. There are a lot of backup beepers constantly going off. This will be my first time seeing a bridge being built so it is pretty interesting.

It will , never seen one being built either
You are doing well on the quilting. Do you have a deadline for this quilt?
Stipple quilting is the best way I've found to deal with t-shirts. Even when they are interfaced, they still wiggle a bit. Keep up the good work.
It is always interesting to watch buildings etc being built. The amount of knowledge we learn is amazing and all you have to do is pay attention to what is going on around you.
Have a great weekend. For some reason this week seemed to drag on.
xx, Carol
