I enjoyed relaxing on the patio when I was finished. The dogs were out and I enjoy watching them sunbathe-they always lie down in the sunniest spot and I don't understand that-and then tear after any luckless chipmunk that wanders in the yard. We have many chipmunks so they were pretty busy today. As speedy as they are, they have yet to catch their first one.
Madeline had gymnastics today after school and her Mom confirmed my thought that she was in the wrong group. She will be in a new group that meets Wednesdays and Saturdays. Some Saturdays her Mom may be able to take her and sit there for two hours. I had planned on knitting four hours a week, but I won't complain if Beth wants to do the sitting and watching.
No sewing today, but, while I was resting and roaming the Web I did find a lovely embroidery design I might buy and use on my "designed again" quilt. I am fairly certain that it is the final design of this one and I wish I could think of a name for it so I could refer to it more easily. Maybe "My 16 Patch Disaster"! I hope I never start another quilt without a PLAN.
I finished another 1930's quilt top yesterday, that's the fourth, but hopefully, not the last. I love those fabrics and would like to make one more that is better designed. This last one is made with the leftovers from the first three so uses much white in the design. I started just sewing squares together before I even went into EQ. The LeMoyne Star in the center was a block I made to see if I wanted to make a quilts worth. Size-wise it fit in the design so I went with it. I am pleased with the result.
We'll see. I hope to start FMQing practice on my new machine on the Christmas Mug Rugs. I need to decide which machine will work the best for me.
