I don’t have a clue what I did yesterday morning but at the end of it Pat and I went out to do a few errands. We did a bit of shopping, made a Cranberry Hall deposit and then went out for lunch. For most of the afternoon I sandwiched and pinned a quilt. I used the island in the kitchen and it was lovely not to be on my hands and knees but, again, the backing wasn’t as tight as I would have liked. I’m looking forward to my new table so I can go outside and spray-baste the heck out of it and, hopefully, get a tight backing.

I know what I did with the rest of the afternoon – I had a nap! I didn’t feel all that great after I got up – it was more than my usual “I don’t want to wake up” feeling so I didn’t do anything for the rest of the evening.

I woke refreshed this morning and, after making cookies for the Song Circle, I managed to get all the stabilizing stitches done on my quilt. I’m experimenting with the quilting on this one so as long as it all goes well I’ll keep at it and hopefully have it done before we go to Calgary. I intended to go to the Song Circle but Pat suggested I didn’t really need to go so I didn’t!

I didn’t do any cross-stitching this week but I found another pattern I’d love to get – but I didn’t! I have added it to my Wish List though so maybe someday I’ll feel reckless enough to make the purchase!
