Thursday Thirteen #5
This leads me to this weeks Thursday Thirteen, 13 things my mom & I have done since Monday.
- We discovered a new quilt shop, (new to us anyway!) in Rockwall, TX. We visited the shop on Monday and each bought some very pretty fabrics.
- We’ve worked on updating some of the programs on my mom’s computer. She has a laptop that she travels with and she hesitates whenever those popups come up that say “there is an upgrade available”.
- I managed to get my 2nd quilt block-of-the-month sewn together and the applique cut and ironed on to the block under her supervision. (this is my first quilt project!)
- We spent a morning at Joann’s Fabrics purchasing fleece and lace to make more baby cuddle blankets. She loved what I had made all ready and wants me to make more. She also found some very cute printed fleece that she is working with.
- I found some very inexpensive, plain white washcloths to embroider on, I can’t wait to show what I’ve done with those!
- Watched my daughter in her first pre-season softball game of the season.
- Possibly purchased a new serger machine. They are attempting to track one down for me, it’s a discontinued model at a very good price. I’m waiting to hear back.
- Went antique shopping in old town McKinney. I just wish the shops stayed open a little longer!
- We both managed to get our hair cut and we both feel human again!
- Stocked up on dog food and treats for both our dogs.
- Taught my mom how to sew the lace on the fleece using an edge joining foot and a bridging stitch. It’s so very simple and actually fun!
- I finished embroidery work on 6 washcloths, they’re so cute! I’ll have a picture later.
- Managed to relax quite a bit, enjoying each other’s company and hopefully will hunt down another quilt shop today!
