Errands, Annie, and early to bed.  I am off work tomorrow so there will be a meeting of the World's Smallest Quilt Guild when JK and I meet for coffee....  Mary

 

July 30

Had to get my hair cut tonight.  Now I will pick Anne up from class and get to bed early....  Mary

July 29

Made it through work for the whole day.  Got the binding strips cut, but now it's time for bed....  Mary

July 28

Actually did go into work this morning.  Anne, rightly, made me go home after a couple of hours.  It was long enough to do some payroll items that I cannot do from my home computer.  All the email will still be there tomorrow....  Mary

July 27

Heck of a way to come off a month of Paleo, with a diet of Jello and Gatorade....  Mary

July 26

The antibiotics are apparently working since things don't hurt so much, but still feeling weak and whoozy.  The interweb recommended changing your pillowcase, so I washed all all the bedclothes and my pjs on the sanitize cycle, threw out my toothbrush and the Karmex I'd been using, and Lysol-wiped my cell phone and key board.  Let's hope tomorrow brings more improvement....  Mary

July 25

Turns out, despite having absolutely no symptoms besides the fever, I have strep....  Mary

July 24

Still sick.  This is awful....  Mary

July 23

Came home early from work with a fever 101 degrees.  Everything hurts: muscles, joints, skin, everything.  Went straight to bed.  Ate something.  Going straight back to bed.  Happy 1300th day of blogging to me....  Mary

July 22

Doing calculations for the baby quilt....  Mary

July 21

Strips cut for baby quilt and binding fabric for floral quilt washed and pressed....  Mary

July 20

All of the quilting on the pink floral quilt is done.  The blocks are for my niece's baby quilt....  Mary

July 19

Monster helping again with the quilting.  I think all of the quilt lines were finished very late in the night.  The cold light of day will allow me to see if that is indeed true....  Mary

July 18

These are the three fabrics I am thinking of for the next quilt.  You know, once I finish the pink floral and the baby quilt....  Mary

July 17

Fabric for the binding on the floral quilt....  Mary

July 16

Just re-posting last night's picture.  Way too much going on tonight: retirement party after work, pick up Anne's repaired laptop at the Apple store, drop off computer at home, feed clowder of cats, and jump in the car to pick Anne up from night class.  Cannot break my 1293 day streak of posting though....  Mary

July 15

More lines....  Mary

July 14

Anne rented Despicable Me.  It was adorable.  Monster and I both want minions now....  Mary

July 13

Monster helping (hindering) the quilting again....  Mary

July 12

It is challenging to quilt when Monster keeps falling asleep on the quilt while you're working on it....  Mary

June 11

Fabrics for the baby quilt all washed and pressed....  Mary

June 10

My new Slidelock ruler that my friend JK introduced me to.  I used it for pinking the cut edges of fabric for the baby quilt before washing it....  Mary

July 9

Working on the design for my niece's baby quilt.... Mary

July 8

And Monster helps some more....  Mary

July 7

My best friend, JK, and I ordered our tickets today for the Wisconsin Public Television Quilt Expo.  Can't wait.  We always have such a wonderful day at the Expo....  Mary

July 6

All the perpendicular lines are quilted, and the two corner-to-corner diagonals are done....  Mary

July 5

About three quarters of the perpendicular quilt lines are done.  Then I have to decide if there will be diagonal quilt lines as well.  At the moment I am definitely leaning in that direction....  Mary

July 4

Monster is a bit concerned about all the noise from the holiday fireworks....  Mary

July 3

Only a four day work week, but it was action packed.  So I am going to bed early while it is still light out.  One of life's true luxuries....  Mary

July 2

More possible fabrics for the baby quilt....  Mary

July 1

Quilt tracks....  Mary
