Lunch With a Friend

I have a pretty regular customer who came to drop off yesterday. She is also becoming quite a nice friend and she treated me to a wonderful lunch yesterday. What a pleasure to spend some time away from the studio for a few hours with great company. 

She also has a long arm but doesn't find it very enjoyable. So, I reap the benefits. When she arrived she brought me presents...

Look at this!

A pretty nice thread haul, some of which I use everyday. Some of them I've never tried (Wonderfil), and she even included some prewound bobbins for both the long arm and the DSM's. I don't have a lot of friends (I'm not easy to earn trust), but what friends I do have are pretty great!

I'll be working on Elleens quilt most of the day today. I am about a quarter of the way through it but, as I've said before, getting the rhythm and the feel of what needs to get put into it is always the biggest hurdle. Once that's established, things move along rather quickly.
