This is a work of art.....a beauty to behold....and wonder in and of itself.....you may ask, huh? You see, this is an EMPTY project box. Now in my sewing room, an empty project box means just one thing - I finished something, and by tonight I can assure you, there will be something else in that box. But for now - isn't it lovely?
And what did I finish?? Elijah's quilt! Now he will not receive it until I have a chance to show it off to my friends and my guild, but maybe someday I will let him have it and take a picture of him on it. For now, it is mine to cuddle with.
The pattern is by Quilt Soup and is called Smooth Sailing. These patterns are fun to do and include a soup recipe. In 
honor of completing the quilt, I made the soup, which is Navy Bean Soup. It called for Hamhocks, which my store did not have, so I just used some ham slices. Hubby made his famous cornbread, and it was GRRRRRReat!And lest you think I am not working hard on my PhD, I completed the March Redwork block at 1:45am this morning. Ah, the sleepless hours 
and time involved in earning a degree.
Hope you all have a lovely day. I plan to spend mine doing some more work in the yard and hopefully I will have some pictures to show you by tomorrow of my efforts out there.
