I will get the last Christmas quilt on the frame tomorrow (Monday) or Tuesday. I will need to change the thread and bobbin colors for that one. I'll be using black because the backing is black (with colored guitars).
Yesterday I quilted in the morning and sheared a bunny in the afternoon. All four were in need of haircuts, and the weather for the next week or so will be relatively warm. Gus got a haircut a few days ago. Yesterday I sheared Fester. He's the chestnut agouti boy, born in April of this year. Before picture:

This was only his second haircut, and he was very good. I got a few scratches, but that was just a reminder to take it slow with him.
I also got a package in the mail yesterday that I was quite happy about. I purchased some fleece from a shepherd on Facebook (Genopalette Humble Hills) that is absolutely amazing! It is just small amounts from two sheep - one is just under a pound, one is 10 ounces. Both are in the 16/17 micron range. Nice lock length, amazing crimp! I am looking forward to spinning these as a superfine lace weight. I may even try washing these by the lock. They have such nice lock formation now.
