A Good Start

I cleaned the studio first thing yesterday,

put away, sorted and tossed until it was orderly again.

I picked up the embroidered piece so begin the pillow;

I start with the zipper--and here was the first stitches!

Last week I would have cried and gone back to my recliner--

I know I am feeling better because I laughed, trimmed off the thread mess

and stitched that zipper right in place-no stress!

And soon I had a new pair of pillows on the couch!

Next I tackled the apple core quilt, 

finishing the three rows and even beginning to stitch the rows together!

It requires a lot of pinning which drives me crazy 

but it is the only way to hope to nail all of the curves and intersections!

I wasn't the best get back to stitching quilts project but it was on the design wall!

I only have seven more rows to go! lol
