Record Breaking

We are in the midst of record breaking temperatures these last days.  Living a dream but not going to leave February out of what could be a nightmare.

Without any delay, I got myself into the studio today.  I had had too many days where it wasn’t in the plans.  This design pattern is over 90,000 stitches.  There are 24 different colors used over 34 times.  It is a challenge for me that I have wanted to do for several years.  My hope is to have a beautiful sewing tote.

As usual Dennis came in at noon and asked if I was going to come up for air.  No.  I am going to see this through and all systems have been working smoothly.  I had the filled bobbins to swap out.  It is 2:45 and I have two hours remaining.  My machine is set at a modest speed.  I don’t have the heart or the courage to run it wide open as Amanda from Bird Island does.  I have no tech to fix it on the spot as she does.

This day has been in the planning for some time and I am enjoying the fact that one eye is on the embroidery hoop and the other is cutting out some quilt blocks.

I have no idea what has gone on anywhere else on our homestead.

With that I will take my leave.  ♥
