Got up this morning and still didn't feel like sewing so I didn't. Another thing I didn't do was clean my machine before taking it to the 'spa'. Got kind of a 'lecture' from Jason because of all the lint built up. I told him that I don't usually let it get that bad and that's the truth... I do TRY and keep it clean. I was just in a rush trying to get tops sewn up so that I could work on Mo'e while Marie is at the spa. If I'm lucky, she'll be ready to come home around the 11th. Jason was ordering parts today, so hopefully Janome will be prompt about shipping them out.
After dropping Marie off, we went to get groceries. Which tired both hubby and I out. Buddy was happy because he got to ride to Lansing with us and then 'guard' the car while we got groceries. I told him he's not much of a guard dog since he was just sitting there quietly while people were loading groceries in to the car next to ours.
Finally got around to doing some quilting after dinner.
Definitely nothing all that fancy, but there's lots of texture. I'm trying some new things ( the continuous curves) and using old stand bys (ribbon candy, which is becoming my 'go to'); it's far from perfect but someone is going to love it anyway. Oh! that reminds me, I've got to find something for the binding. Houston, we may have a problem.
This month's Rainbow Scrap Challenge color(s) is/are yellow/gold. I haven't done anything yet.. figured it could wait til I get Marie back home. I haven't done my fatcatpatterns.com BOM for this month either and I definitely will wait to do that one because only Marie has the double blanket stitch that I'm using on the BOM.
Oh! and I got a new ADORABLE baby elephant pattern yesterday. I saw a quilt that someone had done using it and I googled trying to find it - well, I did, but only on pinterest and the link I found didn't go to the pattern. I asked the quilter where she found it and she said she'd be glad to send it to me via email. I'd show a pic but I'm not sure how to get it onto here... you'll just have to wait until I make a quilt with it - and be prepared for your heart to melt. Then again, you might have already seen it... it's a baby elephant blowing heart 'bubbles'... It's called Esmeralda & Edison Elephant.... correction: SHE'S blowing heart bubbles - It looks like Edison is blowing water.... hey, as long as it isn't paisley, it works for me.
Ok, let me see... anything else? umm no, I don't think so.
Guess Buddy and I will head for bed and I'll read for awhile.
Take care
