No Apologies Needed

I was on the phone with Jason and Jen at Gall Sewing yesterday morning. Jason apologized profusely about my new Q20. He thought they had one in stock but as he opened the box to inspect/test it he discovered it was a demo model. Given our history with Foster, we're opting to order a new one instead. But the frame is in so there's that. 

We're all human. Stuff happens and he didn't need to apologize, although I appreciated the sentiment. When they come to set Marty up, they are taking DW back downstate for a fix. His hopping foot is severely loose and needs to be replaced. Cha-Ching. 

Since I was frame ironing for the next quilt on DW (I'll have to limp it along for another week or so), I was working on Lynette's Tilda Snowmen on Bernie. Here's what the snowmen are getting...

Pretty!

I forgot to mention about the previous quilt on DW. When a quilt has a lot of starts and stops, sometimes the tie-off bobbin thread doesn't get pulled through all the way. I use the sun (or a flashlight when no sun is available) to seek out those threads to get them trimmed before removing from the frame...

See that little sucker?

Much easier to do on the frame before offloading. 

I've made a decision. The scrap quilt I started that's on the design wall isn't getting me all excited to work on anymore. I've screwed up the strip part and, well, I'm just not feeling it. I think I may chop all those parallelograms up and restart with a different pattern. One that I like doing and one that leaves me excited to work on at night. I have to take a look at my pattern and see how I can get the most out of what I've already cut up.

MSU plays at noon today in their first game of March madness. Jim is hoping to get home early to watch said game, but I'll have the doors shut to his man cave so I can't hear him giving the TV a batch of crap while I try to work. Happy Friday! 😀
