Getting my blog out on Monday (11/15) took until just after 9 AM, after which I headed to the library. I found out on Saturday that one of the librarians I am close to, has a husband going through dialysis…so of course I headed off with 2 quilts for her to choose one for her honey. And the dog statue at the library was, of course, seasonally appropriate:

Once home I made a start on continuing my quilting on the second QoV, but stopped to have a nice chat with Mary Lee. That ended just as it was time to head out to the monthly Machine Embroidery meeting. There was a ‘’stitch off’’ to be judged…3 people, one with a Viking machine, one with a Bernina machine and one with a Brother machine took 3 designs on 3 different materials and stitched them out with the same stabelizers and threads. It was a great idea and we judged all of the samples, before settling in for Show and Tell:

-Cathy is doing this tile scene...and brought 2 completed ''tiles''

-I LOVE these snowballs for indoor snowball fights!

I got home around 4:30 and I was STARVING!!! We headed to the Lodge for sandwiches for dinner, then decided that we had so many saved TV programs to watch, that Michael would watch a bunch of his upstairs, while I headed to the studio (I had furry company with me the entire evening):

I got binding done for the second Bento Box quilt:

as well as made a start on the backing:

while watching THE SEVEN YEAR ITCH…and oldie but goodie.

Lovely man…..terrible cabinet maker. ***
