I woke up too early again this morning and ended up coming out and sleeping another three hours or so on the couch. Once I did get up, I was nauseous - felt perfectly fine except for the nausea and dry heaves. The only thing I could figure out was that I had taken two of my meds on an empty stomach; I've done it before without a problem... guess I won't be forgetting to eat before taking them again.
Took hubby and dropped him off at Barnes & Noble this afternoon once I felt better. While he was book/jigsaw puzzle shopping, I went down to JoAnn's with coupons in hand ( 40 and 50% off today only). I was looking for some crochet thread, but didn't see anything I really liked that would work for what I needed it for. Found something else to use instead and then bought 4 yds of Kona white to use for the quilt I want to make with the fun Auntie Acid fabric fat quarters that I received from one of my cousins at Christmas.
While standing in the checkout line, I picked up two magazines - one was Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks and guess what!! they're 12 1/2" UNFINISHED blocks - just what I need for the AQC monthly challenge.... picked out one - foundation pieced - and thought I had the second one picked until I realized that it would require a solid fabric background. Since the challenge involves fat eighths, I can't make a 12 1/2" square background, so I'll have to search out something else. There is another one that's pretty cool... a big question mark right in the middle of the block - and it's pieced so I don't have to have a solid background piece.... think I'll have to do a practice one to see if I can do it. I don't have a very good track record with trying to make blocks with this method - something it wouldn't hurt to learn, I guess. :)
Oh, and got a call from Superior Threads today... I had ordered a dozen cream BOBs ( prewound bottomline threads), but they were out and wanted to know if I wanted a substitute color or a refund. It's going on the back of the quilts so doesn't have to match the Cream Glide thread that I use on top so I told her that Ivory would do. Can't do any quilting until it gets here. ....well, and until I get the old gooseneck lamp off and the new one onto Mo'e, too. Quilting by flashlight is not a lot of fun, trust me.
Guess that's it for tonight... TTYL
