SUPPER CLUB - Tuesday, Feb 23
Posted: Tue Feb 23, 2021 6:46 am
Good morning,
We are 39 and breezy but for the most part, dry. Going to 46* today and the only rain predicted is supposed to happen at 0800, when I walk. Figures. Sigh.
Yesterday I got binding and label on my "Cabin on the Road" quilt and posted a photo. Then I did a few uglies and worked a little on my cross-stitch while listening to my audio book. We only have two more tops to quilt but we're almost out of batting. We buy it by the 40-yd bolt and pick it up at the W&N factory. So we measured the batting we have left and it will be my hand embroidered state birds/flowers that goes on the LA next. It will be a combo of Bill's Q-bot quilting and my free-hand. But we have some dry days coming up so he will want to be outside working on his gutter repairs. Plus he's started to work on our bathroom demolition and he will only fit quilting in when he is out of other things to do. Plus, his new computer arrived yesterday so he has a shiny new toy to play with. So my birds are going to take a while. A good opportunity for me to practice patience - something I'm not very good at.
The big sale at the LQS in Tacoma starts today so I might wander into town just to see what they have. I've been kind of looking over my stash and seeing what I might need to fill in the gaps. Nothing really pops out at me, but you never know what I might find.
TINA - I hope you get some sunny, dust-free days. I'm excited about your closet! Is Frankie all done yet? Are you starting to move in? We wanna see!! What a bummer about your dryer! A few years ago Autumn and Aaron bought a stacked W/D combo while we were down there and it quit within 6 months. Aaron, being Aaron, called Bill to ask advice and Bill reminded them they were still under warranty. But it's so disappointing that things so expensive are designed to not last very long these days.
LORI - did you find anything at the LQS yesterday? I saw in Sew-in you are flying home today. Fly safe!
JANA - so sorry to hear your Matt is back in the hospital. I hear blood clots are not uncommon after a bout with Covid. Prayers for him! And I'm so glad you were able to get an appt to get your shot - and that it's close by.
IRISH - you are really a nightowl! I'm afraid I couldn't keep up with you. Even when playing fun card games! And I do love games. We played a lot of Mexican Train and Racko with my sis and DBIL when we were in TX. You were up pretty early!. Poor Baby Girl! They do get confused when we alter our routines. Even going to DST will cause an uproar here! lol! Did you get to your fabric or your floss? Big jobs to sort out things like that. I'm thinking of cleaning a big bookcase we have in our office. What a mess it has become over the years. That should keep me off the streets for about 3 days!
BECCA - I Googled Baby Animal Embroidered Quilt and up popped Aunt Martha's #3047. Is this the one you are doing? If so, I like it! So vintage. Which is very trendy right now. Any hand embroidery these days is a treasure!
CAROL - I've never used grocery pick-up yet, but go to the store in person to shop. We only go about every 2 or 3 weeks and make it as quick as possible. We sanitize our hands going in and a few times while in the store and again when we come out. Masked, of course. And we steer clear of crowded aisles. I wonder if we'll ever be able to go back to a normal relaxed way of shopping or doing anything again. Or if it will be so ingrained in us to avoid others that this is our future.
Tonite's supper is going to be leftover lasagna from the freezer. And a salad. And I'm feeling a pot of chili starting to bubble up, so maybe that will be tomorrow's plan. With cornbread. Yummo!
Have you got a plan yet for tonite?
