Good morning, ladies! 35 degrees and sunshine today. We had weather in the 60s earlier in the week. The daffodils are up about 3 inches and my azela is getting green leaves. Everything is going to end up freezing again.
Thursday was Glory Bee and yesterday was Needle and Hand Bee. I'm going to drop Needle and Hand. It's a long drive and the members have changed over the years to the point I hardly know anyone because they live in Portsmouth and Suffolk and they are a lot younger. Which is good because I want quilting to keep going.
My English friend, Irene, came to visit me yesterday evening. We had a nice cup of tea and solved the world's problems. She's going back to England for 6 months and may move back permanently. She has family there and none here.
One of my friend's husband had a really freak accident. He was taking the trash bin to the curb and a gust of wind shoved it into it and the handle hit the inside of his right leg. He's on blood thinners and a huge hemotoma developed right away so they went to the emergency doc. They sent him home with instructions to keep it iced. It got worse and an infection developed so they had to surgical open it and clean it out. They put a wound vac on it and it started to get better but now it's infected again and they are going to have to do it all again. I'm really worried about Donnie because that's basically how Stan had to have his leg amputated.
The kit for the Jinny Beyer quilt came so now I need to get upstairs and match thread to fabric and see if I need to get more. JoAnn's is having a 20% off total purchase and today is the last day. I'm so old I remember when thread was 15 cents and now I pay $6.79 for the same size spool. It's made by Aurfil in Italy and is the best I have ever used. I have a lot of thread. I use 50wt in the sewing machine, 28 wt for quilting, 40 wt. for hand piecing and 60, 80 or 100 wt for hand applique and invisible thread for machine applique.
Jean, I need to do the lid-container match up, too. I hate doing it. Enjoy your new iphone.
Have a wonderful day!
