QUILTS R ME SOMETIMES

Sahara’s Quilt.  

I’m not at all a good quilter, but I’ve always been taught to keep a record of the work I do.  For years, my quilting projects have suffered from lack of attention.  Yesterday I irritated my thumb no end by creating one or two pages for every quilt and putting them in a binder.

There are two quilts for Alex.  One of the first foster mother’s lost the earliest.  I did a double Jacob’s Ladder for Megan saving fabrics and drawings.  Not one photograph.  I started a quilt for Katheryn but never made it.  We are not in her family’s favor.

I did three quilts just to make quilts.  I haven’t made a quilt for all the grandkids yet. Maybe they can claim one of these three if I don’t get one done for them.  In the meantime, I’m looking forward to getting back to work on Bobbies “Crow” quilt.  Then too, there are two adult-kids who need quilts.

• Himself:  Pool, work, dinner early, meeting.  Saturday: Morning, picking up Mia’s books, none: Automobile Museum, and evening: it’s our 34^th anniversary and we are out to dinner at Island Prime.  Sunday: Tickets at 10 for “Guardians of the Galaxy,” meeting later.

Herself:  Ditto, except that I’ll go along to the museum and go up to the Mingei Museum to see their new show.  Imagine….34 years.

Reading:  A new author which I sort of like.

3 Things Done Well Yesterday and Today:Sorted and printed out the quilt information, today got cleared to go back to work then drove on the freeway to the gym where I went to class.

Gratitude’s:  That I had another credit card at hand therapy as my MC wouldn’t work there.
