I'm a bit discouraged th'sevenin'.
First o' the 20 pinwheels 9 are backwards.

I think I'm gonna only use 8 blocks & that'll git rid o' 5 o' 'em. Then I decided ta make the center pinwheels go the other direction so that means take back one o' the 5 left overs & use it w/the other center pinwheels. I haven't got any further than those planin' stages o' that quilt.
I decided t aput the yellow copin' strips on the blue & yellow quilt blocks. I made 'em too big on purpose. A couple o' the blocks are too small & had hoped that I could make up for it w/the copin' strips. Well at least one is still too small. I guess I'll take the yellow ones off o' that one & put blue ones then the yellow back on the outside like the others. Sigh again.
Then I played w/the embroidery machine. The design I wanted looked great on the practice piece but when I put it on QE's cute li'le block it drew it up a bit. Sigh yet again. I sure hope it doesn't make it too small, it's definitely a bit wavy. I'm so sorry QE. If it doesn't work for ya let me know & send me the PP pattern & I'll remake it for ya.
All o' this after DH & I spent the mornin' tryin' ta go ta the eye DR. They rescheduled him for next week. Then signin' papers for the 2 lots & mailin' 'em off. We also took care o' some more o' DMIL's estate stuff. After all o' that his back was hurtin' so he took a nap & paid bills th'sevenin'.
I do ramble on don't I.

Carrie - It's so nice ta come here & see your BB quilt done.

It's awesome!

After the strange day I had, it's a sight for sore eyes.

Jeanie - That's gotta be discouragin'! I sure hope it's not the M word again. My prayers are agoin' w/ya. & yuck all that water.

What a thing ta deal with.
Sue - I'm still thankin' God for the good news. I think I'll come & sit in the RV & have some o' those cookies & have a cupa tea. Sigh

Anael - Please show us your li'le garden.

Janie - Those prairie crocus are darlin. My flowers are just dryin' up & not bloomin'g very much. I did plant some in Brady in hopes that there is a bit more rain there. I did notice taday, that my Bird o' Paradise is bloomin'. I have an old pict o' that flower some where Hmmmm let me see.
Yes here it is.

This isn't the same Bird o' Paradise that is tropical. This is a very ugly bush w/tiny li'le leaves & grows very scraggly. but when it blooms.... well just git outta here! I haven't checked ta see if my cactus is bloomin' yet. It's in the alley so I don't git out there very often.
QE - I bet that your new machine is purrin' right along for ya real soon.

Well it looks like I wrote a book.

I do feel better though. Thanks ya'll for lettin me vent.
