Cactus Plant. This block looks like a cactus. Many blocks have no relationship to their names. Good colours in this one.
Amazing Twister patterns. You'll be surprised. I certainly was.
Missouri Star Quilt Company , a video and fun as always.
We had a busy day . I had virtually no sleep last night and was sitting here with my laptop planning to write my blog and fell asleep with it in my lap where it always is LOL. I slept for a while , not long, since I don't do a good sleep in my chair. Because I had so little sleep my legs were like spaghetti and so were my arms. Sleep is so important to my day.
Richard came and he too was having trouble with his legs and getting in and out of his wheelchair. He used my walker for support
to aid him getting up and down. My legs will get better with sleep but his poor legs will not get any better just worse. He was out on the boat with Chris and Chris and though they are so good with him it was in my opinion just too hard for his poor body.
He was not in good shape. It is heartbreaking.
A look at the beautiful B.C. coast.
Ray took this picture of Rick and me.
Then Sam came over to visit with Rick , to watch the hockey game against Detroit which we lost... badly... Sam was taking Rick to the airport to help him with that and to have dinner together. Sam is such a kind man. We will be going with him to the Chicken Palace , really the Swiss Chalet but Sam always calls it the Chicken Palace.LOL.
I did a bit of knitting on another of my dishcloths.
By then it was dinner time , we were too tired to cook so Ray had a can of beans and and I had a can of Ravioli. Not a good meal but what can you do when you are really tired and your legs won't work. I should have had soup. Haha.
This is a factory where women sewed up uniforms , taken in the early 1900s. Great old treadle machines. Can you imagine the noise when all these machines were working at the same time. We have a somewhat romantic idea of what was going on in these sewing factories but I am sure it was not a great time.
Another old time sewing machine, it looks like it says Singer on the lamp but my eyes are not very good so I am not certain. However I love the pink paint. Singer sure made many interesting machines.
I love all these different sewing machines old and new. Our new computer machines are such fabulous working machines but the old ones keep us entertained with their beauty and the romance of sewing.
As for sewing I have not had any time for it these days and next week looks busy too. Jim will be here for a few days on his way to Los Angeles. That will be fun for us.
Time to end this conversation folks.
Have a great evening.
Good night.
