Whirlwind Wednesday


Well, after being down with a bad headache all day yesterday, I felt much better today and made up for lost time. I even had to keep my two youngest grandsons from 3:45 yesterday afternoon until their parents and older brother got home from his track meet last night. I’m usually a pretty fun grandma, playing games, going for walks and pretty much whatever they want, but my husband had to take up the slack for me last night. I hated that I couldn’t play.

Back to today, I stayed on track with starting my day with household chores. Then onto my longarm business time. I started loading my next client quilt while waiting for a drop off and consult with a client. Then I got to stitching. Such a cute mermaid quilt for a little girl’s birthday. I’ll show a little peek of my progress.

I worked on it til time for dinner, stopping for a quick lunch and to swap out and fold some laundry. After dinner, which was a delicious Home Chef meal, I worked on my Barn Star Sampler a a teeny bit and then sewed two more rows of a special t-shirt quilt I’m making for a family.

I ordered a set of Bloc Loc rulers to trim half square triangles, and they have already shipped, but I may have to trim this whole stack before they get here. I only trimmed 8 of the 64 today, and made these little units. I have the next 8 units lines up and ready to trim and sew.

And, that’s about a wrap on today. I’m going to mix up my sourdough before I go to bed so it can rise overnight. I hope that works out. I’m basing it on how long the first batch took to rise. We shall see!
