So what's my excuse?

For a second week, I've actually done almost NO work on quilting.

Why?

Well... we are renovating a house.  Ever done that?  If you have, then you absolutely get why I'm not quilting.  If you haven't, let me just say this: Don't renovate a house if you can help it (just kidding.... sort-of).

This renovation has actually been going on in the background for just over 2 years.  We're converting a beautiful 1904 brick house into something that will be modern and comfortable, while retaining the charm of the original building.  It's been a demanding project, to say the least.  It's coming to an end in about 3 weeks - and suddenly we're having to do a lot of running around for this and that, doing research online, picking out curtains, rugs, and so on.  It's, well, very involved and very time-consuming.  But we're getting there.

I do have projects ready for quilting - and have some things to share about "invisible thread" and such - but it will have to wait another week.
