Actually, yesterday I didn't get to do any practicing. I had to take hubby for his first cataract removal and he was so sure that it would take us at least an hour to get there so we left here about 8:45 am; it took only about 1/2 hr so we were there in plenty of time since his appointment wasn't until 10. Once we got back home ( about 1:30), I was tired because of not enough sleep the night before so I took about a two hour nap. The rest of the day I just sat, gave hubby his doses of eye drops and fixed a simple dinner.
Almost as soon as hubby got up this morning, I turned Mo'e on and got some practicing in. Had some glitches here and there -- at one spot he wouldn't move; kept looking around to see what the heck was going on... power cord had come out from under tape earlier and when I re-taped it, it was too short. The rest of the glitches MIGHT have been because I didn't give Mo'e a good cleaning before starting and there's probably dust, etc on the rails.
I don't like the feather on the left but I do like the one running along the bottom. What I tried with the one on the left was to work from top to bottom on the left side of the spine - something I'm not used to doing; I really prefer starting at the bottom and working up to the top then tracing the spine back down to the bottom to start the feathers on the opposite side of the spine.
practicing curved teardrops....
curved teardrops with lotus feathers in the corners
I'm basically happy with the curved teardrops and the lotus feathers above... still need to practice the curved teardrops some more - AFTER I clean Mo'es rails. I'm thinking I'll use the lotus feathers to 'mark' the middle of each border and use the curved teardrops for the rest of the border space ( just in a larger version of what I've been practicing).
I have to take hubby back to the eye surgeon for a follow up in about an hour so I'll wait til later to clean Mo'e... MAYBE tomorrow I can get Chris' quilt loaded on.
