I was up early this morning and by 8:30 I said to Pat I thought I was ready to go back to bed for a nap. But this is a sewing day so I headed out the door instead.

I packed a few cards to work on, as well as a quilt top that needed another border added. It was one I thought I finished a few weeks ago but I felt it needed something else. I had two cards and the border finished by lunchtime.

I could have gone home early but I took an extra bit of hand stitching in case I finished early. But I also had another small project in my bag – a fabric basket that I cut out to take to the Spring Retreat and never got around to working on. Cleaning up even a corner of my cutting table paid off I guess.

I had a bit of trouble with the instructions but Moreen arrived to sew after lunch. It was a pattern that she made for selling in the boutique at the quilt show so she was able to point me in the right direction (after I did a bit of reverse stitching). I just have a few of buttons to sew on the corners and it will be done. What I’ll do with it I have no idea.

I had a few errands to do on my way home; Pat was leaving to get one of his nails fixed just as I got home. He picked up Subway for dinner and headed out early to a PRISMA concert.

There were a lot of things I could have been doing but I couldn’t resist the urge to lay on the couch “just to rest my eyes a bit”. Thank goodness the phone rang after a bit more than an hour and woke me up. I’m hoping if I keep busy until bedtime I won’t lie awake all night or be up again at four tomorrow morning.
