The wedding quilt is finished.  I'm not sure when I started it (some time this spring), but this has to be a personal record for finishing a quilt.  

Friday afternoon, I started to work on the wire-wrapped jewelry kit that my BFF sent to me.  The kit came with wire, two stones to be made into pendants, and some tools.  The first step was to measure the perimeter of the stone, triple that measurement, then cut eight 24-gauge wires to that length.  The stone I'd chosen to wrap was flat and thin.  It measured 1" x 1/2", for a perimeter length of 3".  Triple that, you get 9".  

9" x 8 = 72"

There were only 60" of 24 gauge wire in the kit.  I emailed the company, sent pictures of the stone, the instruction manual, and the wire package (which was clearly labeled "24ga" and "60 inches"), and asked for more wire.  Someone answered the e-mail right away, saying they'd check into it and get back to me.  I put away the wire-wrapping stuff and spent the rest of the afternoon putting the sewing room back in order - sort of.  

Saturday, I worked in the yard.  I cleaned off a spot for a new flower bed and seeded it with six packages of dollar store flower seeds.  Mid-afternoon, I got a text from the guy who manages the community garden, along with a picture of the plot I worked last year, wondering if I could get a crew together to plant something in last year's plot.  The picture showed nothing but weeds in the plot.  I worked last year's plot on behalf of the County government, where I was employed at the time, but I did not intend to work it this year, and I'd told them this.  Nevertheless, I told the garden manager, "If you can get the Ag Class to till it up for me, I'll plant something in it."  Before the afternoon was over, he sent another picture of my plot, all weeded and ready to plant.  I'm going to fill it up with purple hull peas today.
