If you are following the red brolly quilt, the last blocks are up is you can figure out what they are. there is a lot on the page and it cinfuses me sometimes. But the best of luck to all of you.
I have spent the day trying to get the embroidery files off my computer onto the memory stick. Especially I wanted to get one adorable little bear embroidery piece. I went to my files on emblibrary and it downloaded as as PDF . Not right. So my day was soent for the most part on wasted efforts.
However I did embroidery one piece and that was a cup of cappucino. It turned out very well. And it was fun. I also made three more blocks for my table topper.
Marg came over for a visit and brought me another book. So we had a good chat. Then my neighbour came over with a wooden bowl that is meant to hold your wool while you are knitting so it does not espcape. It was made by a retired gentleman who was selling them for $20 to make some more money to enhance his retirement. They reminded me of the kind of wood work my dad used to do in his shop in the basement. He loved wood and had lots of beautiful pieces in his shop.
This is way too dark, the wood is a light ash blond and is quite beautiful but you cane see where the wool is supposed to travel through the side of the bowl.
Peter called again today to see if we were all right. There are rumours out there that the earthquake that occurred up in Haida Gwai was felt in Vancouver. None of us felt it, thank goodness, neither Ray and me nor Margaret. People here get all charged up when an earthquake occurs. That is all very reasonable since we are sure to have one sooner or later. Later would suit me!! We had a very good chat and I was happy to hear from him.
Ray made dinner tonight , the pork loin we bought yesterday, small potatoes, carrots and we had corn on the cob but it wasn't very good tasting so neither of us ate it. It was pre packaged so we think it was old. Ray had to cut off sections and then it was no good in the end. It looked so nice in the package.
More time after dinner on the embroidery designs and the computer. As Einstein said insanity is doing the same thing over nad over again and expecting a different results. So I stopped before I became insane.
Today's apron, the fourth of five. I hope they have given you some ideas of your own on what an apron might look like. They are like little dresses without sleeves. These are very elaborate ones but fun.

This block is called Patriot Star, it kind of reminds me of a Bear Paw block.
Now these are close friends so it appears. I am not sure that the fawn is all that comfortable from the looks of it.
A nice place to live, it has all the amenities trees and water, what could be better. Now if it just has a furnace all will be well.
Peeping throught the door.....

Have a good evening.
Good night.
