Frustrating
Before last night’s shutdown of my laptop, It asked me to leave it open for an up-date. I did just that. Today things were different on the laptop. It speaks to my age, I don’t like changes in my high-tech stuff. We will see how things progress.
My studio was visited this forenoon. I didn’t want to over-do it. The 2.5 inch border was cut. It took four swipes of the fabric to make it around the perimeter of the project. I did not do any sewing of them together. Before that happens I need to do a grease job on the machine. clean fuzz and then a new needle.
I did take out all of the red-topped basing pins and then did a trim around it getting off the excess batting as well as the excess backing. There I called it. Using the rotary cutter can give the right arm a work-out.
It is rewarding to see all the bubbles that the free-motion quilting achieves. I have no pattern to go by. The stitches are at the whim of how I move the three-layer project. Some trace their stitching designs on the top with chalk. It is all about what makes you content and happy. I am happy when all goes well under the needle.
Today is Dennis’ 89th birthday. I am taking him to the Home Town cafe for supper. Last night we had Subway as a treat. Splitting a 12″ tuna is all we can handle and it was tasty on cheese bread. I did pick up a bag of the Sea-Salt Vinegar chips which is Dennis’ favorite.
This morning we had agreed that the list that had been in our meager bucket, we had been able to empty, went well. There are always a few items that we would screw up if we attempted it. Those items best left to others.
I will continue working with the lap-top updates until they become usual and customary.
With that I will take my leave. ♥
