we are alone

Jim left this afternoon on his way to  Kamloops where he plans to spend the night cutting his driving hours today and makes for a shorter driving day tomorrow.
Ray and I had to go for tests this morningand all three of us went for breakfast after. It was a nice time together , one we won't be able to do for a while, although Jim did ask if we would fly to Edmonton for Christmas. I would love to do that but still need to ask Ray.
I took good advantage of the free time to do some more embroidery and did the final block of my Redwork quilt. I pinned up the sashing on the sides of the last three blocks but did not get to sewing them on. I was going to be a bit short of sashing pieces so needed to unpick one side of a white,red,white set of strips so I could cut another red strip and make it a red,white,red set of strips. That will give me enough pieces for the sashing I hope. No sewing tomorrow so this will all have to take place on Wednesday.  I have enough of the leftovers piece to make the pieces for the 9 patches.
Tomorrow will be one of those days when I go out in the morning at 8:30 , get home at 4:00 and then go out with Kathy for a class on Stabilizers, what to use with what. It should be informative. I just lost half my entry for the blog and cannot find it. I am chuffed, now what was I saying. Fiddlesticks!!!
I am sure you are all waiting for me to get this Redwork done so I stop talking about it, but the triple sashing takes such a long time to do and to put together. And I only work on one quilt at a time so have no UFOs. However I do have the squares cut for my animal skins quilt and just need to cut the 1 1/2 inch strips for the sashings, easy ones eh!
Got to love that.
Oh I recall now what I wanted to say. When I go to Tom's tomorrow night I am going to look at the holiday fabrics and maybe purchase some. Lots of fabric here but for the past few years I only buy exactly what I need , I love those holiday fabrics , but some have to go out  for more to come in, well maybe not I am sure I can find a space for a few FQs LOL. Also need to buy some rayon embroidery thread and KK2000. There I think I am caught up.
Have a lovely evening folks.
Sta Bene.
