We
had a slow start Sunday morning (7/14), but at least it was after a wonderful
night of sleep for the both of us!!
Michael and Cookie headed out for a walk, while I headed to the studio
to begin basting the charity quilts. I
got those all done
and set up the program.
That took me a bit of time as I hadn’t done it for over 3 weeks! Luckily I had a cheat sheet I made and taped
to my computer before I left…that helped a LOT!
I recently bought 5 new longarm designs, so I got those loaded and printed out
samples for my selection book. I used to
be able to take my old computer up to the kitchen table to meet with clients
and have them pick out a pattern. I can’t
do that anymore (my computer is too big and too integrated to the longarm), and not all of my clients can handle the stairs to the basement, so
I have begun to print out my designs and load them into a 3-ring binder. I plan to keep that upstairs for clients to
look at when they come with their quilts.
By then I realized that I needed to put my new bowl foot on my longarm,
and everything should be turned off for that.
You remember what a process that is:

When I finally got that done, my enthusiasm for anything else had kind
of petered out. I stopped and got all
441 photos from the vacation on the IPAD loaded onto my computer (I just have
Michael’s phone and my kindle to go…PLUS I need to load everything onto his computer),
and then decided to start sewing on my binding strips. I got the binding put all around one side of
a QoV quilt before heading upstairs for dinner.
Michael and I have been wanting to celebrate our safe return from
vacation…and Sunday night was the night!
We had champagne:
and puffy things (in this case potstickers) and
watched cooking shows for the rest of the evening and got some knitting in.
