Embroidery Day

Note: I did do my blog yesterday and it was long - but I see it's not posted. So, I'm betting my computer didn't accept it and it wasn't posted. I'm sorry about that. I can't remember what I posted! Let alone what I did yesterday. UGH

Today I was ready for embroidery. I was planning on working on my beading, but yet again, I forgot the wire to work with. So, I ended up doing embroidery after all. 

I worked the leaves there off the nest. I did it backwards, so I took it out and redid it. 

The trouble with that was, it didn't work the way I wanted to. Looking at the phots I like the first one better. I may yet take it out again. Who knows. I did work in another area, just didn't get a photo. 

Mom texted before I left this morning, asking me to come by and place the blocks where they needed to be. After all these years, you would think she would know how to place the 9 patch blocks. So, after embroidering, I headed over. 

As you can see, the two blocks in the corner she started pinning together, so they didn't stay there long. She pinned the first 2 rows. Then she told me she was doing red 9 patches, and when she's done, I need to go over and "help" her place those. I told her it wouldn't be till next week. Then remembered next week is the fair and we are all working it. I think she wanted me to stay and help sew this up. She used to kick this stuff out quicker than "snot" but now she seems to need help. Go figure. She was telling me she got half the blocks done yesterday and the other half the day before. She was surprised at how fast it goes. (That's why I told her to do them; it will get quilts a lot faster!) 

We will have a sewing machine there to work on while we are manning the booth. That way we can get a top or 2 done. It should work out great. If I can get rid of all these 4.5" blocks, it will make my day!

Came home and called it done. I wanted to check on my game. Now that we moved from one kingdom to another, I should be able to enjoy the game more. Hard to say. I am making more friends in the game, and I haven't talked to friends in a while. 

It's been a long day, and this week is going to be longer. I have judging on Thursday, Patrick wants to go to the casino on Wednesday, and I have something I can't think of right now on Friday. Plus, tomorrow is physical therapy. I am going to tell him I have been without my brace a couple days, and it seems to be helping me. Not sure why. I'm just glad I was able to get a little done while I was Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
