Taking one day at a time

Five days off?  That hasn't happened in a while.  Monday is a normal work day for me, but last Monday, 16, 2017 was switched with a co-worker so she would be able to be with her husband during his hand surgery on Friday.  So plans were made, to include cutting, sewing, and embroidery down in the dungeon, and then an afternoon drive to visit with dd#1, and all her guy's.  Her birthday was the week before, and we hadn't been able to give her her presents.

Sewing until the bobbin ran out!  Seemed like a good place to stop, and get ready for an afternoon of fun with family.  So the three of us (my man, our furry four legged baby, and I) headed up the road for some much needed Grandsons, and dear daughter time.

Then on Tuesday, I was able to finish these.

Ten Golf Towels

This is the second year that I embroidered towels for this event.  I've met some very nice ladies at the quilt shop that I work at, and appreciate the business that the shop sends my way.

Now the week is over, and I have been working on Bonnie Hunter's En Provence Mystery. http://quiltville.blogspot.com/p/en-provence-mystery.html I saved all the clues, and am only on clue #1.  I've also been working on quilting dd#2's quilt.  Taking one day at a time with my sewing/embroidery projects.  Hopefully I'll have some finishes to show soon.

Until then,

Happy piecing, happy sewing,

Sheila

Now that the holiday's are over, it's just winter

"Now that the holiday's are over, it's just winter."  Statement from my man one afternoon while I was taking down the Christmas decorations.  The house is slowly getting back to normal.  I have an embroidery job or two to work on, and I'm quilting DD#2's quilt.

The Green is Always Green aka Jacob's Ladder

I wanted Celtic Knot's since "The Little Red Haired Girl" is my Irish Baby.  Fitting design for her.

Saturday

Today is a snow day/sew day.  We only got an inch of snow here in my neck of the woods, but it came later in the day, and kept us home from a dinner party.  So instead of stressing over it, off to the basement I went and sewed.  Now it's dark outside, snow has stopped, but it's cold.  Fire and football, and some quiet time with my man are good for me.

Happy piecing, happy sewing,
Sheila
