MOSTLY UPS

I gathered all of the hats 
(they were part of the fallout in the shelf disaster) 
and separated the newborn from the adult ones to ready them for donation.  When I counted the adult hats, there were only 29 so I had to knit another one for an round number! lol  
I also ordered another paint-by-number kit but this one came as a canvas without the frame.  I stapled it onto one of my already framed canvases so that I could more easily paint it!  
It is a bit saggy but the good news is that I can tighten it after painting using those wedges that no one knows what to do with when they buy a ready-to-paint canvas!
I did the quilting first thing yesterday morning and thinking it only needed a row and a half, I would be done in no time at all!  
Unfortunately, at the END of the row I discovered this!  Ten minutes to work across the row and 45 minutes to rip it all out! 
 I did find the problem with the bobbin , of course, and finished the quilt and have it off the frame and when Mary is working on her quilt today, I will bind this one!!!

    That last photo gave me goosebumps. I haven’t fired up the Juki in ages and I’m pretty sure when I do it’s not going to be pretty. I really should be doing some practice pieces just to keep my head and hands in the game.

    Great job on the hat donations. I know they'll be appreciated. When I sewed the Christmas ornaments together last week my sewing machine was "stuck" in the zig-zag stitch. Nothing I could do would get it out. I finally walked away from it for awhile and came back. After jiggling the stitch selector back and forth several dozen times it finally started sewing the straight stitch again. So frustrating but the poor machine was a Christmas gift from Dennis the first year we were married 47 years ago. It's done a LOT of seams and I guess it deserved a bit of rebellion. Ha!
    Blessings,
