Great progress on the quilting, the concrete dust, and where to buy ribbon
The courthouse steps baby quilt is at least 60% quilted. It is a smaller quilt so the quilting is going fast. I really like this one and I may have to make a few more.
Wanda, the installer used a shop vac when he drilled the hole so there wasn't any dust. I had asked about that before he started the installation.
Cherie, my bobbin holder is something my dad had made. It fits into a wooden sewing box he made. I took the thread holders out - I have two - and use one for quilting thread bobbins, and one for regular sewing thread bobbins.
Vicki, you might try Wawak Sewing Supplies for grosgrain ribbon. I buy all my zippers for pouches from them along with thread and hardware for bags. Their service is outstanding and I get my orders in a couple days.

Wanda is a he? Lovely to have and USE something your father made :-)
I didn't think about that. Using a vacuum to clean as he cut was the way to go.
Thanks for the lead on a ribbon supplier!
Great use of stripes! I typically save the big enough stripes for bindings. BUT I have some stripes that are not-so-binding worthy. I need to sort those and keep them in a "someday" bin. Have a great weekend. Hoping to get some "rainy day" sewing in on Sunday here.
