We
have been spoiled by having several nice fall days in a row in October and
November, but then it turns cold again, like today, and it’s a rude reminder
that winter is around the corner. Yesterday we walked down to the cenotaph for
the Remembrance Day service but today neither one of felt like going out at all….so
we didn’t….the joys of being retired. My sister came for lunch today. She
had an appointment just after 12:00 so we were eating early and we just turned
the oven off and plated lunch up when the lights went out….no idea why but they
didn’t come back on until about 15 minutes later….glad lunch was ready though
other wise I guess it would have been a sandwich lunch for her!
After
she left and we cleaned up I did the only part of quilting I don’t like…..pinning
all the layers together. I don’t have a table so I have to tape it to the basement cement floor
and sit and pin it together….so hard on my bad back and knee…but one is ready
to quilt….which brought on another problem. I don’t usually do large quilts but
this year I did and it is such a struggle getting a full size quilt stuffed
into the sewing machine to get it quilted. I got so frustrated I called our
local Baby Lock rep to see what a sewing machine with a wider throat plate
would cost ……aaaagghhhhh…..over $3,000. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN ANY TIME SOON! So,
I guess I’ll just push and shove and mutter to get them quilted.
Today
I thought I would post a couple of cards with the same image, but in different
layout colours.
Its
flu season so I thought I’d get some more Get Well Soon cards done up. Love
this image. They were coloured with my alcohol markers and die cut with a
Spellbinder’s die. The backgrounds for both are from the stash as is that loopy
border....another reason I don't throw little left over bits out! The sentiments were computer printed and then I cut them into the
banner shape and glued them to left over bits of cardstock that was used on the
top of the card.
That’s
all for a Wednesday. My Toronto Maple Leafs are on tonight so I just might sit
and colour up so more cards as I watch the game.
Cheers
Violet
