This morning, I needed to be at the museum by 10:15 am. Debbie and I were giving a veteran a quilt that is shy and doesn't want the attention. We worked hard to get this set up and finally arrived. When we got there, Jim wasn't there yet. His neighbor called to see if he was coming and told us he was on the way.
We went into Sam's office, and she called him in to talk to him about his grandson. Then she told him she had him there for a reason. Chip, Mike Cheek, and a couple others came in and shut the door so he couldn't get out. Then we presented him with his quilt. He was one that didn't want one till everyone else got one. We had done the same thing to Mike, so he knew what was up. It was fun!
Jim Howe served in the Navy. So, we gave him a Navy quilt. It was fun! Now we just need to work on more panel quilts.
Then Debbie and I went to Dutch Brothers and chatted for a good hour. My hip was killing me. I had a hard night sleep, and I could barely move. But I made it to the museum and DB even though it hurt. The more I moved the better it got. I had put a hot pad on it first thing in the morning and that helps a lot!
Got home, after trying to get in and out of the car a few times. lol Then I sat in the chair - that isn't a good chair to sit in - and put the hot pad on me. Patrick gave me the Netflix and BritBox remote while he went outside to do some work. I watched about 3 different shows. Then I gave up and listened to my book.
I was working on my embroidery piece. Trying to think of what I needed to put on the arms of the bear. So, I tried putting a bee on it. I need to put antenna's and a stinger on it as well. I will do that later.
I still need to add more. Almost thinking of a caterpillar or something like that with another flower. Still trying to decide and that's not easy. Designing something I am not drawing, is interesting to say the least. Patrick suggested I put the hive on the other arm. I may do that, just need to find a pattern or a picture so I know what to do. I have a good idea though.
Then I decided to try and do the other panel for my ornament.
Of course, I didn't get very far. When I started at 2 pm and went till about 5 pm, it limited how far I would get. When I'm doing 2 things at once, I won't get far! Oh, well. This is the second panel for the ornament. I like the colors. I will try and get at least 3 done, but maybe 4.
I'm having a hard time moving, because my back and hip don't want to work together. It's painful and yet tomorrow I have a presentation to do. I may have to get Debbie to do my presentation, since I really should be standing with pain. It will have to wait and see.
As for today, it was a good day to give a quilt away and to work on my stuff. At this rate, I can say today was Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
