Pat and I went out for breakfast this morning. It was cloudy and rain was predicted but, other than being cool, the day was fine. When we came home I started working on the first block of the Splendid Sampler 2 series. There were a lot of things I should have been working on but I decided to take a day and do what I wanted to do. Rather than using the blocks in this sampler for cards I’ll be keeping them for myself.

Pat flew to Victoria this afternoon and, after dropping him at the airport, I stopped at the hospital to visit one of our Tuesday quilters. She’s been in hospital for a week but I hadn’t heard about it until Friday. When we were talking she said she had 400 books loaded on her e-reader; she hardly needed the “real” book I took her but she said it would be a nice change to hold a book. She’ll be there awhile so I expect I’ll be visiting again. It was pouring rain by the time I left and the rain is expected to continue tomorrow. I’m not complaining though as we really need it (and it means I can’t be expected to go out weeding!).

When I came home I worked on the second Splendid Sampler 2 block. I still have some hand sewing to do on it but I’ll get that done tonight. I’ll be back to my “have to” list tomorrow but it was a nice change to do something for myself today.
