Two more pouches, daffodils, t-shirts arrived, a visit to the bridge project

Two more pouches are quilted and cut to size.
I stitched the red one with this variegated thread. It looked good on that fabric. I have a couple more red prints I will quilt with this thread until it is gone.
This week I got 7 pouches ready for finishing. Not too bad. I did order zippers yesterday. I have no idea how many, but I know it was over 100 since I got the lowest bulk price - 27 cents for a 14" zipper. I just kept picking different colors and hitting the + for the quantity.  They are nice zippers too! I wouldn't buy anything crappy that wasn't going to hold up! I got a notice that the zipper will be delivered Saturday! Wawak is fast!
The weather turned cold again which is not unexpected. After all it is mid-March in NE Ohio! The daffodils flower head were drooping. I will have to wait and see if I get any pretty flowers or not.
There was a box at the door when I got home from work. It was t-shirts from the poker run lady. I thought she was only sending me two. LOL!! Here are the two I need to get in this year's quilt.
Here are all the t-shirts she sent me. Woohoo that there are some colored ones!
The other day I had to run down to the job site. They were pouring a footer for the northbound bridge. This footer is located under the old bridge which is still operating. You can see to the right the beams for the southbound bridge. North and South bound traffic will be moved over to the new southbound bridge by the end of this year. Once that happens the old bridge will be taken down and work on the new northbound bridge can continue.
I am so glad it is Friday. My plans for the weekend are to continue working on quilting the pouch units and maybe figure out how I will redesign the t-shirt quilt to fit in those two shirts. They are tank tops so I will have to fill in the neck and armholes spaces. Have a great weekend!

the little clump of surviving daffodils have grown about four inches this week - no buds, but hope SPRINGS eternal ... that bridge is so cool!
