Lauri's quilt
I got up before 9. I had done two rounds of exercise and was heading to the bedroom when I felt a sharp pain on my foot. Somehow it got cut. I cleaned it off with hydrogen peroxide and put on a bandaid. I wore the slip-ons with the high wedge heels to take the weight off of the ball of my foot. I ate breakfast, and planned to write a check for the quilting. Then I remembered that I needed to write another check as well, but only had one check left. I had to find a new checkbook. I also did some tapping, packed a lunch, and grabbed the second kneeler on my way out. I arrived at the church after 11. Rebecca had bought me some banana fabric at Quilter's Combo so I paid her for it. Debbie showed me a picture of her Little Gracie quilt frame that she wanted to sell. I sewed 7 binding strips together, pressed the strip, then sewed the binding onto the green quilt. The ladies I wanted to see about advice about the kneelers were not here. The others commented nicely on the kneeler I brought. Well, I'm not likely to do worse on the remaining ones. They also commented positively on the quilt Cathy quilted. I forgot to eat lunch. After the binding, I brought out another top to be taken apart. There was a discussion about the George Zimmerman case, but since I didn't know a thing about it, I could not comment. A little after 4 I had most of the blocks removed, and I packed up to come home. I was home by 4:30. I ate some kimchi and roast beef. I finished writing the check to Cathy, then read e-mail until Chris came home. I told him about cutting my foot. He found a nail sticking up on the landing of the doorway. I hit it with a hammer a few times. I went outside to look for apples. Nope, but I did pick and eat a cucumber. I also trimmed long grass at the back edge of the driveway. We both read e-mail for awhile before watching TV. I also cut a top and bottom for the next kneeler and sewed cording around it. I discovered that the cording foot will not go around corners. Hopefully I can catch the corners with the zipper foot when I sew the sides on. We saw several episodes of Chuck, then read e-mail and went to bed.
