Lauriejo, do you want to borrow Lily and Moira? They are good to go no matter what the weather. I am glad we had decent, though cold weather this afternoon. I just heard we are due for gale force winds tonight. With nearly a foot of new snow, that could be interesting. Wind plus cold means staying indoors. I do have to go to the church tomorrow to work on a quilt for an online auction for abused women. I hate sewing HSTs when I'm not the presser or trimmer, but no one else will do it. I have not worked with flannel in a quilt. Gr-r-r. I also have to get up early. Double Gr-r-r.
I have been putting the corners on snowballs. Now I know how to do something else. I've learned a lot in my year of quilting. So far the focus fabric is too bright for a prayer quilt, but I'm not going to worry until it's all together. The pale 9 patches and border may calm it down.
I didn't plan my eating today, so consequently I ate everything and anything. I hate Sundays. For many, many years Sunday was family day - with the size of our family, it was like a party every week - and these alone ones are hard. Back to normal tomorrow.
Is the brown basmati on the grocery shelf or is it a natural food store item? It sounds good. I wasn't impressed with the pulled pork at the restraurant last night. My son took it to eat on the road today. I don't know if he'll eat it cold or rig someway to heat it. I'm surprised McGyver Jr hasn't done any ''manifold cooking' while he's on the road. I made him Chex mix and date balls for the road. I bought the ingredients at Christmas but ran out of time. Better late than never.
I'm taking my own machine tomorrow. It's too hard trying to find a scant 1/4" on an unfamiliar machine. I also have trouble sewing with a machine on a table, but that can't be helped. There's no machine in a cabinet at the church. I know it's just all in my head because it's what I'm used to, but whatever. I had better start packing. I want that thing together tomorrow, so I don't want to forget anything I might need.
Am I stalling starting my next b'day quilt because it's for my 'particular' daughter or because it has curved seams? I need to have that other spiral runner done by early Feb, too.
I wish all of us a healthy eating and exercising day tomorrow. I am gaining control of my weight and getting healthier. Judy
