Sadly, unlike my shark friends in the clip above (from one of my all-time favourite stupid movies), the frikin' "laser" beams won't actually be attached to my head (I would think it could be rather handy on a crowded bus?) but aimed at my eyes, one eye in fact. Early tomorrow morning I'm scheduled for laser eye surgery to (hopefully) obviate my dependence on reading glasses.
I'm freaking out just a little bit.
My aim is to have the borders completed and attached to the quilt body before my first class of the year at Material Obsession in the first week of February. We all need unreasonable self-imposed deadlines don't we?
Do you read Micheles's blog? I am in awe of her progress on her Mary Brown Quilt. Michele has tempted me by her mention of a Baltimore Quilt offered as a BOM through Quakertown quilts. My Tuesday quilting buddy kindly asked me "ARE YOU MAD??????????" To which I could quite flippantly and yet honestly reply...
And to sign off, here's another photo taken today of one of our resident baby Tawny Frogmouths. Isn't he cute?

Gosh, Kate, I love your hexies! The colors!!! Good luck with the laser, I bet you'll be fine very quickly. You are so fortunate to be able to see, and photograph your owls. We hear them all the time, but have only seen one once. Thanks for the nice comment about "Mary". Michele

This hexi border is amazing. Can't wait to see it all togeher. Take care and follow dr/ orders!
I saw it on Sue Garman's blog when she was making it and thought I need the pattern. Now I see that there is a block of the month! HA HA. Best of luck with the eye. I know many people who have had it done.
You will be happy with the surgery...I know I was. (still am!)
Fabulous hexagon borders! Hope your eye surgery goes well and you will be back in business soon!
