ARGHHH!!!!
I'm so tired of 'losing'/misplacing things!!!! Just recently, I received new bobbins for my domestic machines and soon after, wound 'wash away' thread onto one - then placed that bobbin along with the spool of the same thread... put them in a small zip lock type baggie and then put the baggie 'somewhere safe' so that I'd know where it was when I was ready to use them.
Well, I'm ready to use them... but can I find them!?!?! Nooooooo. I've been looking for a couple of days now...even cleaning off my worksurface in hopes that the baggie was hiding under something --because, of course, I can't remember where that 'somewhere safe' is!!
Ok, rant over...I'm going back to looking again...sigh.

Quiet but busy
I was working on quilts, but didn't have anything finished until yesterday when I finished these two...table runner and lap quilt.
Last weekend, I took a Zoom class with Ricky Timms. My first time doing this so I was just a little apprehensive and installed Zoom a couple of weeks before then tested it with my daughter in Wisconsin. Still wasn't sure it was going to work for me, but everything went great.
My quilt from the class isn't done yet because I still have to decide how I want to make the borders...he leaves that completely up to you (but does give some examples of what he and others have done).
Here's what I have so far....
Oh, wait! I forgot that I didn't take a new pic after I added a dark purple narrow inner border. Anyway, I get one idea for the outer border and love it, but then get another idea and want to try that...so, it may be awhile before I can get this top finished and then quilted.
In the meantime, I have another lap quilt laying on Mo'e while I try and decide on backing and binding.
I also found my box of binding leftovers the other day, so now, I can think about making some tops using them. Now, if I could just find the two items that I'm actually actively looking for.....
Take care
Stay safe and warm
