I finished the chicken run flimsy yesterday after a marathon doctor appointment in the morning. I figured it was going to be a ten minute follow up appointment, but was informed it was time for my "Medicare check up". Oh my!! I had a walking test (easy), eye test (still easy), physical (still fat), and then the dreaded mental acuity test. ha ha ha! Everyone who knows me knows I have an aversion to numbers and math of any kind. The first test was a math test. You have $100, you buy two items, one for $3 and one for $20. How much did you spend? Well, duh, $23. How much change did you get? I actually said, "I have no idea, but I trust it was the correct amount." The girl smiled and said she needed a numerical answer. I was thinking about it and doing math in my head when she says, "do you need paper and pencil?" OMG! Well, I finally passed the test and was flabbergasted that I could actually repeat lists of numbers backwards. (I
know!! What is that about?) The memory stuff was a breeze, and even though I will not say 45's name out loud, she accepted my answer of 45, that jackass, as an answer. Blood draw today, and now, I am back at work.

Chicken Run is ready for quilting |
 |
It took over two hours just to stitch around the twenty sets of feet!!
 |
OW! They have my blood and my advance directives. I'm ready for anything.

I quilted a QOV while doing the chickens, and have another one to do today while I quilt the Moon Over Misty Mountain project. Mr Wazoo also quilted, and I am so proud of him for doing this very wonky, vintage quilt without any loud outbursts of frustration. I have to add the binding and give it a wash before it goes home.
 |
This is a pretty and scrappy QOV! |
 |
I used the digital panto: Double diamond |
 |
Little flags on the back |
 |
Mr W did Sunbonnet Sue (with weird arms!) |
 |
Panto: Paper Chase |
 |
I picked this little calico for the backing. Red polka dots will be the binding. |
 |
The moon quilt is loaded and ready for quilting. I'm using a double layer of Hobbs black 80/20, hoping it will add the stiffness needed to keep it round when hanging. We'll see.
 |
These are only a few of the threads I used for the triangle quilt and chicken run. Putting everything away is the next task. I better get in the studio and start working!! The day is slipping by.
