I Have a Brain

Since I figured out the back door to getting pics in here, I thought I better post the embroidery I did last week for the Quilt Room quilt.

Definitely needs ironing
When I took the pic I was just passing through the studio and didn't want to fire up the iron, but all the labels and blocks are ready for me to start this masterpiece. However, it will still be weeks before beginning. I already have three projects in the works on two separate machines and that's enough for now.

The day hours will consist of total Marty work on Julie's Flea Market quilt. The afternoon should follow with what has become the norm, but the neighbors are up, meaning the studio work in my head may physically change when that time arrives.

Lots to Report

But not many pics. I finished Ginny's quilt right before lunch. After lunch, Jim and I needed to find him some wide mouth lids for his pickles. We started to head towards Colonville Hardware but stopped at the grocery story in Beaverton. They used to have a large canning rack including sleeves of lids. 

They no longer have those and while I was in the store looking Jim was calling Colonville to make sure they had some before we drove all the way over there. Good thing he checked. They did not have any and so we picked up four boxes of the lids that the grocery store in Beaverton had.

I did a Love Letter and a Flower Power leaf block before jumping on DW. All the while I'm frame ironing the next back on Marty because I have two customer quilts I need to get done ASAP. After working on DW for a few hours I decided that was enough and noticed it was only 6:30. Embroidery?

Yep, and all the pieces are embroidered that need to go into the Quilt Room. 

I am having trouble getting my phone to talk to the Mac. Our iCloud is nearly full and the Mac won't accept any more information. That's how it syncs. Maybe tomorrow I'll have this figured out?

Quilting, but Not

I didn't do anything in the studio but I did get a good portion of the embroidery done for the Quilt Room pattern. 

I'll chip away at that some more when I have a free hour or so during daylight hours. 

I'll be on Marty this morning. I have a lunch meeting at 12:30 in town and then I'll be back at it when I return this afternoon. Jim has PT earlier than me and will be done around the time I have to be at Riverwalk so we have to drive two trucks into town today. Isn't that silly? 

First Time in Seven Summers

Yesterday turned out to be a half day of work for me. Jim got home around lunch time towing this behind the truck. Once we got through lunch...
