Yesterday was a gloomy, rainy, chilly, thundery day. I turned on all the lights in our trailer, played an audio book, and sewed the gloom away. I got another 1-1/2 unicorn blocks finished. I plan to finish all four blocks today (26"x26" each) and maybe figure out larger borders than called for. This quilt is 10" smaller than Cats in PJs and from what I know of these little twins, they will fight if one's quilt is bigger than the others.
Maybe I'll make geese out of the scraps and have them fly around the borders . . . CHRISS - You had a long day yesterday. Thank you for sharing updates with us. We love you and we've got you and Jerry covered in Prayer.
VAL - glad Josiah is going to Oakland, relieved Gramma will be coming with him, bummed he got delayed, but grateful they didn't risk a flight in questionable weather.
LORI - I do love how your fabrics turned out. Do you use your washing machine to dye them or a big tub or basin?
MARY Q - I've conferred with my tech dept and he says all Microsoft products now come with that 'feature' (One Drive). There is a way to turn it off (he did it) and he said he will send you a link on how to do this. Have you posted a photo of your finished quilt top yet??? When you're ready for that swap, I'll be waiting. But no rush for me - I can't even get to my R/W?B fabrics until March!
LYN - Sounds like your upcoming guest is one you'll really be looking forward to! But if you set up sewing shop in the garage, where will you park your tractor/mower and all the other odds and ends that go with owning a home? You don't have an extra bedroom in your house? We do have a clubhouse in our RV park though it's quite a long trek from our trailer. But most of my fabrics are small cuts. I just cover my kitchen sinks with the inserts they came with and it doubles my countertop. I have 3 sizes of cutting mats with me and mostly I am able to use the middle size, 12x18. So it works. But thanks for reminding me that I do have that clubhouse to use. I have in years past for larger projects (think Lord of the Rings), but don't generally think about it for smaller ones.
TINA B - How is your hubby doing? You flew to VA for his surgery? From where? Someone said they thought you lived in Illinois. I was thinking you were in Utah. How long will you be gone? I hope your DH heals quickly and completely.
JANA - You wanna talk about cabin fever? Try being stuck in a 29-foot fifth-wheel during a string of cold, stormy days. This RV shrinks more and more with each passing day! So what caught your attention in your Batt Cave yesterday?? How much have you got done on your OWL?
LOIS - awww --- you said 'chiropractor'. I sure miss mine! So - how did the desk work out? The State of Washington has a building in Oly where they put all their old desks, chairs, tables, shelving, file cabinets, and more for sale for dirt cheap. But they don't advertise it. I wonder if your state has such a resource for furniture. It's where I got my rolling sewing chair. And in fact, I'm thinking of re-doing my fabric storage system this year and I'll probably visit that outlet to see what they have. So what project is next up on your sewing table?
JUDI - what a treat to have a pedicure! You are now all set for Florida? As for shoes - I really messed up this trip. I totally forgot sandals or any slip-ons. But I do have a pair of black ankle boots with me and for some reason 2 pairs of black dress shoes. I think they got packed accidentally. I haven't worn any of those - just my Sketchers. Glad Colleen and Nolan are doing better. Don't forget - Two negative tests about 36 hrs apart are necessary to be considered truly negative.
Today will be another inside day. My weather app says only cloudy - not rainy. But those clouds are awfully loud hitting on our tin roof! I'll be working on Unicorns. I have to say, these blocks are turning out really cute. I constantly admire Elizabeth Hartman's talent to design these quilts.
Holding good thoughts and prayers for all the needs in our group, but especially for little Josiah and for Chriss & Jerry.

I must still be groggy this morning - I almost signed my post, "Love, Bill & Mary".
Though, to be honest, he has met many of you, knows about the rest of you, and he is, after all, a long-armer.
