Allergies

I felt like I was coming down with a cold yesterday. Itchy, watery eyes, snotty nose, sneezing, and a lot of sinus drainage causing me to cough. But, I didn't have aches and chills. Nor did I have a severe headache. I think I'm developing allergies.

And, yesterday, I took Virginia's quilt off the frame, trimmed and folded it in order to get it ready for pick up. Virginia has lots of cats. Jim thinks it's a cat allergy. And I didn't do my eye drops yesterday so it very well could be.

Despite my wading through all the head things I was dealing with, it was a very productive day. I started on DW to do my daily strip. After, while I was working my daily caddy my phone rang. It was one of my regular customers (I guess all of them are regulars now since I'm not taking any new business) and they were coming to the area. Could she drop off a top? Sure, I'm just puttering around the studio.

Jim was working on his very first loaf of hand-made bread. Doesn't this look yummy?

We love bread!

I made a Scrappy Goodness block while I was waiting for them and then recorded the days missing for the Temperature quilt. I also dug through my flimsies to find a suitable coat pattern. They arrived and were here for over an hour. More like an hour and a half. Boy did I get a beautiful quilt to work!

All transferred

During lunch I prepped my pattern pieces for the coat I'm making. After lunch I removed Virginia's quilt to free up Marty for some quick long arming today. I had to construct a backing for the top I selected from my stash and started frame ironing that. I constructed the houses for the temps I recorded and added them to the next row.

While I was waiting for the backing to get frame ironed on Marty, I constructed the strip sets for the cowboy boot quilt...

Ready for cutting

Today I was up very late. The previous night our chimney for the fireplace decided to drip into the chimney pipe. One. Drop. At. A. Time. And loudly because water dripping on metal is very loud! Apparently we have a new leak. Guess what's right outside my bedroom? Yup. The chimney. And this allergy thing wasn't helping. 

Today I'm hoping to sneak onto Marty for a few hours to get the coat top quilted along with all the other daily things I should do. But, it's Sunday, so who knows how motivated I'll be.
