I put the last quilting stitches into T#3’s quilt last night. Now, had I been feeling 100%, I would have trimmed it up, cut the binding strips and get them sewn together – at the least … so today I could sew on the binding and then in Slow Sunday Stitching style stitch down the binding this afternoon. But I know that I’ll be sorry if I push myself that hard. Instead, I finished up reading The Girl on the Train and watched the Blues game.
Today I’m going to trim the quilt (so I can get a picture to share) and then work some more on my Martha Washington’s Flower Garden. I have a couple more full blocks to stitch before I start to stitch on the connector pieces. Once I get my blocks pieced together, I’ll start working on the half blocks to square up the quilt. I’m a ways from getting this completed and ready to be quilted, but since this is my travel project, I knew that it would be a long-term project.
It took 2 full days of antibiotics before I began to feel better, just as the nurse said at the Express Care. Today is day 4 of antibiotics, and I’m feeling better than I did yesterday. I’m still not 100% but I’m definitely on my way.
And not a moment too soon as I will be on “Nana duty” tomorrow and Tuesday. DSIL is out of town this week for work, and DD will be spending tomorrow and Tuesday with her former step mother who will be having her second chemo treatment tomorrow (DD’s step sister had nonrefundable travel plans for this week, so DD wanted to step in to care for her former step mom in her step sister’s absence).
Look what came in the mail yesterday:
Just in time for Area Championships this coming weekend.
It got warmer than predicted yesterday … we were able to open the door to the deck yesterday afternoon for a couple of hours. It is supposed to get a little warmer today … who knows, I may get out and do some of that slow stitching out on the deck!
I hope that whatever you have planned for today includes a little something that brings you joy ... have a great day!
Kathy
are you EPP your grandmother flower garden - it looks like that is what you are preparing - do you have a photo? I am going to work on a EPP also and see if I will enjoy it. glad you are feeling better it takes take. Yesterday was a day of sunshine and I spent it wandering around outside and soaking it in.
ReplyDeletePretty little hexies and glad that you are staring to feel better!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your new tshirt! It is PERFECT for you! Glad you are feeling some better... and glad you are taking it easy too :) Sounds like life is still busy around you and you will be busy the next couple of days with your T's.
ReplyDeleteHope you do get that binding prepared at least today.. but stitching your hexi's on a day you could be on the deck may win out! Hope you have a happy sunday! Kathi
You seem to have gotten lots done for someone who is sick. I hear ya though...all I could do was sit on the couch. Stitching, knitting and some hand quilting all got done while I have been under the weather too!
ReplyDeleteGreat shirt! Enjoy your slow stitching and hope you feel back to complete health soon!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are on the mend. Hope you are able to get some sunny stitches in outside in the spring air.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you were sick. Taking the time to take care of ourselves and rest is always what the good doctor recommends so .. you did the right thing. Put your feet up and rest some more as the coming week sounds busy. ;^)
ReplyDeleteSo many people have been sick lately! I hope you are feeling back to your normal self soon. Love the shirt!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are feeling better and got to enjoy a little quilting. And, how very sweet for your daughter to step in and fill in the gap. Happy week!
ReplyDeleteLove the shirt! Oh the thought of stitching outside on the terrace sounds devine. We got rain yesterday so even though it warmed up it wasn't nice. Sunny days ahead however. Can't wait to see the final photos of your log cabin and you have made real progress on your Martha Washington.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are feeling better. Take care of yourself and don't push it yet.
ReplyDeleteThat t-shirt is perfect for you!
So glad to hear you are starting to feel better. I love that shirt...too cute!
ReplyDeleteHave fun stitching and spending time with the T's!
Happy to hear that you're feeling better, Kathy! Oh, my goodness...you're going to ROCK that shirt! I feel a big win on the horizon, for sure!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to hear that you're feeling better, and I love your new t-shirt :)
