Happy dancing going on here…..the Eye Spy quilt top is done. I had planned to work on it for the Friday Night Sew In, but working on it a bit each day, well I just couldn’t stop. Whewwww..it feels so good to have this done and I know both of the Little Polka Dots will enjoy it.
Now I’m tackling the 16 patches for Darlene’s “Between Friends” quilt pattern. There will be 35 16 patches and I have 10 pieced but all the rows for others done. This will be a great Friday Night Sew In project. Tammy has her top done except for borders……so Swell!!!!!!!!!!!
Mr. Polka and I have a big adventure ahead of us. A week from today we leave for a cruise to The Panama Canal. This has been in the works for quite a long time and it didn’t really seem real till I got the passports out and suitcases down. Now to figure how to pack 1 suitcase a piece for a 15 day trip. Don’t you just love Mr. Polka Dots duct tape passport cover?!!! We are so excited and going with a great group of friends. We tried to talk Hunka and Ms . Red in to going……seriously, that would have been way too much for one cruise ship!!
Happy week everyone!

Congratulations on finishing the eye spy!!!!! I can't wait to see your new quilt, I love that pattern of Darlene's.
You will LOVE that cruise - I have friends that did that one and they had a fabulous time!
How great to finish that. Specially to do so before your cruise. That sounds wonderful and I'll look forward to seeing photos.
Looks great - well done you!!
Enjoy your cruise, that's one we've been thinking about too; can't wait for a full report. Love the I Spy quilt.
Have a blast on your cruise...we've talked about doing that one...take lots of pictures. Retirement is GRAND! Love Between friends and the EyeSpy is perfect...the little Polka Dots are going to LOVE it!
The quilt looks great ! Sounds like a fantastic trip too .
Have fun, have fun!!! Your eye spy in finished, love it! Yep, the two of you would have the ship rocking for sure.
WOW! My husband would be jealous. He wants to cruise the Panama Canel one of these days. Can't wait to hear all about the trip!
Cute cute stuff. I would say I'm jealous of your cruise and I am. But I am afraid of being out in the water in a cruise ship. I'm getting more phobic the older I get!
Bon Voyage to you and Mr. Polka Dot...
I love the eye spy quilt. Wasn't that a lot of work - the hexagons?
Wow. Good work!
I'll be on that next cruise. You know I had to go and get a job. What the hell was I thinking?? A cruise would have been so much more fun. Can you imagine us on that ship for all that time?? lolol We'll just have to get ready for our other trip. :-)
Love the I spy quilt. Lucky grandsons ;-). Have a great trip and good luck with all the preparations!
I hope you have a wonderful trip, it sounds very exciting.

Your eye spy quilt looks great!! Good job on that finish!! So Friday maybe I'll work on my borders while you sew more blocks and we'll be "truly" making it together :) We'll have to get Sharon to join us!!
Sounds like a great trip!!!
Oh that I Spy quilt is so cute! I started one years ago and have a million hexagons ready to go, but they never went. I admire your tenacity with that! Have a blast on your trip!
