A new daily routine

 Wake up, drink a glass of water, take the puppy outside, make coffee, take morning pills, sit and recover. That's how I start my day. That bit of activity makes my back begin to ache. After 30 minutes of rest, I make and eat breakfast, get dressed and take Penny out for her run and fetch. Another 20 minutes of sitting, this time outside enjoying nature, then its off to the studio. I finished the two armchair antimacassars and sent them back to Florida. It took 2 1/2 days to quilt two 20x22" pieces of fabric. Ugh...

After a good drink of oil and a warmup, Millie did her job and helped me quilt the two pieces of fabric.

I didn't get a picture of the finished products, but you can see the Rounded Square panto here.

I got out one of the quilt tops I made in Texas and added the borders made from the fabric I got on our shop hop south. Tomorrow, we'll be on a shop hop north!

This was a jelly roll project. I like the prints and colors of the collection. I made the green backing and hung it all back on the rack.

Today I paid some bills, did a load of wash and tried a new mask pattern. I made three duds before I got the gist of the directions and had some success.  I'll try it out tomorrow. I need to make some more as ours are getting rather tired and worn out. I'll have one of the girls take my picture tomorrow for you.
Supper is over, the clothes are put away and I am recovering again. Next stop, bed!
