Last week was our annual trip to visit with family in South Texas. It was a good visit, except for both of us coming home with colds. I expect to be laying low this week so as not to share it with others. I did test negative for Covid.
Unlike previous years, I did not take my machine for hotel stitching. Instead, I only took handwork and managed to baste 100+ tumblers for my red and white quilt.
There was also a brand-new H*L* close to the hotel, so a
little retail therapy happened both there and at a vendor’s booth at the Don-Wes Flea Market in Donna.
My loot included a coffee mug, thread catcher for the chair I use while watching TV, a project box and several cuts of novelty fabrics for
inclusion in my tumbler quilt. After I
got home, I realized that the red print was a duplicate I had purchased a previous year, sigh.
Yesterday we received a very welcome 1/2 inch of rain and today is breezy and cool. I made an absolutely unavoidable quick trip to the grocery store this morning and am settling in to work on projects between sneezes.
