As was predicted, we did get rain on Sunday, about 1/4". The temperature at the beginning of the day, when we were uncovering the plants around 7 AM, was 57. It dropped as the rain came to 46. We are going below 32 again tonight, so after the rain, the blankets will go back on the plants.
The dampness made the day feel especially cold.
The stag horn did not like the cold....
but it did appreciate the rain!
I stayed inside almost all day....and I loved it!
I did some of the PT exercises for my back.
I cut some fabrics, and sewed some others, to work on blocks for the Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt.
And I got back on the computer for my long arm machine to try to get the computer to stitch what I wanted and where on this small quilt. It is still taking me a long time to translate my ideas to language the program understands. After a few attempts I was able to tell it to stitch a design around the pineapple. I struggled with communicating where I wanted it to stitch after I had to move the quilt. I will figure that transition out....and some day I will look back and laugh at my ineptness!
(You really can't see it, but the background of this piece has been quilted.)
The pineapple design was stitched in a class I took in the spring 0f 2019....
I guess it's about time that I finished it!
I still need to decide how to quilt the pineapple itself,
but that will be done on my regular machine...I think!
