For some reason I’m feeling anxious today and I can’t seem to settle on anything. I had a good sleep last night and was up at my usual time. I slipped upstairs to my studio before Pat was up and started on a new card. This particular pattern came from one of the Guild library books and, although it was tricky aligning all the pieces, it wasn’t difficult.

Once I got it together I took a break and had some dry toast and lay down for awhile. I thought I was better but when I got back up to my studio to quilt the card nothing worked the way it should. Ruby, who normally does a beautiful blanket stitch, wasn’t cooperating; I changed the needle, I rethreaded several times, I swapped out the bobbin. Only by sheer stubbornness did I get the card finished.

I have lots of other things I could tackle with the rest of the day but I think until this feeling passes I’m going to curl up somewhere and finish my book.
