OBW progress halted, Janice new quilt top

Michael was up at 7 on Monday (3/6) for golf here at SCCL, but he had a bit of a later tee time, so had time to make me my usual egg/cheese/toast for breakfast…but instead of spinach, there’s yummy asparagus under that egg (thx Susie!!):

The rest of the day was all about the OBW…I started with this:

And other than a lovely and long conversation with Mary Lee, continued sewing:

I finally got to this point by mid-afternoon:

I did manage to get 2 more embroideries done while Michael was watching UCONN:

And Janice, Loree wanted you specifically to see her show & tell from last week at quilting....since it was inspired by your lemoyne star (sorry it's a bit blurry):

Remember the fish quilt that Janice made for her great-nephew at Christmas:

Well, she had a bunch of ''fish'' blocks left over...and made many more...and came up with this:

I LOVE it! And that piano key border will really POP once she gets it quilted and then bound in the dark purple (which is the inner skinny border color).
