SUPPER CLUB - Thursday, March 4th
Posted: Thu Mar 04, 2021 6:06 am
Good morning!
Chilly and damp here but at least the damp isn't actually falling out of the sky - yet. But it's coming tonite.
My poor hubby - went to the dentist to get cavity beneath his crown repaired. And turns out his tooth can't be saved. So he's off to a specialist soon to have it pulled and he is going to get an implant. Turns out his sister is going through the same thing right now. So they will be implant buddies. Today Bill gets his 2nd Covid vaccine. Curious to see what reactions he will have. I only had headache and sore arm for one night.
I played with my new DWR templates yesterday. I love them! They are easy to use. No pinning! Curved sewing was no problem. But this quilt will be slow going. Which is OK, because it's for Autumn and she is going slow. But yesterday after a few hours of consideration and tips from Mary Rose, I made all my fabric choices (batiks on black), and this morning I'm second guessing those choices. Each arc is 6 wedges and I finally settled on 6 fabrics. For the size quilt I hope to make, I need a full yard of each fabric. But this morning, now I'm thinking maybe I should go scrappy (still batiks) which would allow me to use up some of my smaller pieces of fabrics and save my bigger cuts for projects that need more material. Arghhh.... I'm so bad at decisions!
TINA - Good luck to your dad today when he gets his shot. I hope he doesn't have reactions, though that is actually a good thing. Just doesn't make them any more fun. Did you say you are getting your shot today, too?
MARY ROSE - thank you for your DWR assist yesterday. Your tips/advice really put it all into perspective for me. I'm so happy you got that letter! Maybe you should call your gastro doc and tell him you have a time frame from work and he might at least make a decision sooner on your course of action. You know, squeaky wheel and all that . . . . Love your quilt! That pattern was one of the three I was considering for Autumn (DWR, Lone Star, & Lovers Knot). Your colors go together so well. You were quick about getting it together. Did you decide on a border yet? Does it need a border? Do you have a print that plays well with the other fabrics?
BECCA - you got your niece's quilt done quickly! I know it will be a day-brightener and a spirit-uplifter for her when she opens up that package!
JANA - Hope your machines show up soon! They are missing all the fun! I guess I forgot about your log cabin. Refresh me, please. Colors and who it is for. I really try to keep track of everyone's projects, but sometimes I forget. Have fun with that big order you have coming. It will be like Christmas morning! I use magazine holders, too, for organizing a lot of things in my sewing room. But have to confess I got all of mine at Goodwill for 99 cents each. Also, my 3-ring binders.
My baked potato soup last night turned out so delicious, if I do say so myself. Bill scarfed his down and went immediately for a second bowl. He rarely compliments me on anything, but he raved about that soup all evening long. I guess that recipe is a keeper! I have a massage appt today and I'm going to take David, my massage therapist, a big bowl of it because we have a lot left over. And it's going to be our supper again tonite.
What's your supper plan looking like?
