Last weekend was a wonderful birthday weekend. Daughter Kristen and Keaton my grandson came over on Saturday, bringing lumpia and senorita bread as treats. Keaton mowed my lawn for me, and we had a wonderful afternoon.
Sunday brought daughter Katie and Klara and John. They brought a delicious fruit tart, and Kristen and Jaeger also came by, and we had another wonderful afternoon. I got many wonderful gift cards, Joann's, a local nursery, Michael's and Hobby Lobby!
Monday, my actual birthday was quiet, but I had a great day quilting. I was able to completely quilt a baby quilt with my newly returned Juki that had spent 3 months in Texas for warranty work. It worked perfectly, no thread breaks, needle breaks, and tension perfect! I was thrilled.
Tuesday, things went downhill. I had noticed a nail in the sidewall of one of my tires. I took it over to a local tire place, and found out that it was not repairable. I needed a new tired. I have all wheel drive, and if you replace one tire, you have to replace them all. They gave me a quote which shocked me.
Luckily I have a son-in-law that has his own used car lot, and has connections with another car place, and was able to get me a decent price, less than half of the previous place. So I was able to get new tires this week.
Another day was spent getting new shocks on my rear tailgate. Due to these activities I haven't gotten much sewing done this week.
I did finish a couple of hand projects. October Kathy Schmitz's design from the One Stitch at a Time Club.
What I will be working on for Slow Sunday Stitching this week is my Father Christmas, the next to last block of this old, old BOM. I just need to add the face, beard, and cuffs and details.
I will be linking up to Slow Sunday Stitching at Kathy's Quilts. Pop on over and see what everyone else has been up to.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
