I had a lovely day yesterday; I purposely spent the day relaxing; I was happy to know I can still do that. I needed a new project for the evenings so I dug into my bin and pulled out what was right on top. Once I knew the yarn I had to find a pattern. While I was sorting through the patterns I set a few aside to send to the thrift store. I was so relaxed that it didn’t even bother me when I had to reverse stitch almost all of the cross stitch that I did in the morning when I realized I had miscounted.

But it was back to normal today. The first clue on an online mystery quilt pattern was release. I didn’t plan to do it clue by clue because I wanted to see the entire pattern first. But the first clue only wanted four nine-patches so I dug into my scraps and got them done before breakfast.

After the video chat I headed out into the yard. It was a very satisfying day as I was clearing out around the lilac bush; the smell was amazing and, had my back not protested strongly, I could have worked out there much longer. Not to worry though as there are enough spots left in that section of the bed that I’ll get another days work before the blossoms drop.

I made two card tops this afternoon and I’ll work at quilting them tomorrow.
