Quilt and suit alteration progress and binge watching
It took me a couple days to get motivated. I only left the house to go to the neighbor's for Thanksgiving on Wednesday night and Saturday I made a trip to the library. I did some cooking, laundry, and cross stitch stitching along with binge watching Yellowstone. I had to write down the last episode I watched; I think I am on Season 3. I am obsessed! It is like the Godfather set in the west. It is violent and the language is very colorful to put it in a nice way, but the storyline and relationships are so interesting and there are constant surprises. I did get the pants for Michael cut down and he came over to try them on. I was very pleased how I had guessed how much to take out and I just need to do a few tweaks to the pants. The jacket sleeves have been lengthened although I need to do the hand stitching on the sleeves. The Ultrasuede trim is attached with heat and bond, but still need stitched by machine. Thank goodness I found plenty of black Ultrasuede in my stash. I think the black trim will look sharp on stage. I will make sure to take a picture of Michael in the suit on Saturday at the show.
I spent too much time quilting when I should have been working on Michael's suit. I am 36% done with the quilting. I am like how this quilt looks more now with the quilting. I used 17 and 1/2 bobbins of thread so far. I may have to go and get another cone of that pink quilting thread.
I made a big pot of ham and bean soup. I figured out a way to freeze the soup in portions; I will show you that tomorrow.

Oh yes, the quilt is looking terrific with your quilting! Micheal is so lucky to have an aunt with mad alteration skills! That black ultra suede looks sharp!
