Customer quilt done, pizza

We slept in Sunday morning (8/13) and just had a lazy morning reading the paper and eating breakfast. In the early afternoon I headed to the studio to load up my customer quilt:

and kick off the quilting:

I love the swirly heart pattern she picked and think it looks beautiful on her quilt.

My honey brought me down a snack in the late afternoon:

a yummy peach...and a bit of protein to help with my blood sugar...and I continued to quilt along. Around 6:30 PM, I was tired and tried to save my design….but my computer was acting totally weird….so my choices were, leave my machine on all night….or finish the quilting. Finally, at 8:30, I headed upstairs after the quilting was done. I was very tired and knit very little before heading for bed.

Michael was up and out Monday morning (8/14) for golf, while I relaxed in the living room, reading a library book. I was totally shocked to get a call from the shelter….we are driving back on Wednesday to hopefully come home with a new addition to the family!!! I was shocked to get the call, because they are closed Monday and Tuesday….but I was thrilled to hear from them. Michael only played 7 holes of golf as it was WAY TOO HOT!!!

I got my customer quilt all cleaned up (basting ripped out and bobbin ends woven in), off of the frame:

and trimmed, and managed to correctly load the backing for my next customer quilt! We made a quick trip to the pet store (supplies for new puppy) and the bird store (more bird seed) in the late afternoon.

We made pizza’s for dinner:

and watched the next episode of BLACK SNOW….I am totally intrigued by this TV show :~).
