One of the best things about summer? Fresh flowers every week:
Sunday morning (8/7) was another 3 hours
of H_LL at my machine….my tablet kept shutting down, which makes the stitching
stop! I think I have multiple problems
going on and none of them are helping. But
by NOON I put the last quilting stitch in and breathed a HUGE sigh of relief
and decided I could take a break for lunch.
Robin (Thursday quilter) had given me a peck of tomatoes on Thursday
that I was supposed to turn into sauce.
But with the last 3 days I’ve had, I hadn’t gotten to it yet….we’ve just
been eating them :~). So Sunday I had a
yummy ‘mater sammich for lunch.

I spent
the next 3-1/2 hours weaving in all of the ends created by bobbins running out
and all of the other problems, and trimming, making the binding, and attaching by machine. By late afternoon I was finally done:
I called Jerry L (another Thursday quilter)
who will be doing the hand binding part, and picked up Pat (just to talk) and we both rode up
to Harris Teeter to turn over the quilt.
While I was taking Pat back home the skies opened, so I stayed at her
house for a bit to dry out. With the
stressful weekend I had, you might guess what was on the agenda for dinner…..yep,
champagne and puffy things!

Then it was
popcorn
and a totally silly movie (SHARKNADO 4) to round out the evening.
