Only four lessons later, I have five rows done and two more cut and ready to go. This has been such a wonderful introduction to quilting. Eunice is not only patient, knowledgeable and skilled but a good old friend. We have been catching up with each other every time we met, there are endless stories to share and laugh about. I am so very grateful for this opportunity to learn the craft and rekindle my friendship with her.
Unfortunately she hurt her back gardening last week. Hope she will have a speedy recovery. Slipped disc sounds serious. And back pain is no easy business. I wish her get better soon and have no lingering issues.
The walk with Benny was met with a very colorful sunset. I’m glad I caught it just in time. On our way home it already disappeared.
Started my quilting lessons with Eunice Thursday at her home. We did a lot of catching up with our lives, it’s been a long time since we last visited and talked. She looks the same and just as I remembered, very nice and kind. I learned plenty already in just one lesson. I may finally be able to use the rotary cutter without going stray.
Friday, I went to Ohio Star Quilt Shop and got all the supplies I need and the fabrics for my first quilt. Very excited to get started.
Got out of the habit of taking pictures of food. Last Wednesday was the monthly dinner for the Gathering Place group. The Long Island Ice Tea was very strong and the chicken Marsala was very small but tasted good. The picture on their menu and the actual meal are very different. Leo said there are comments made online about the food at Olive Garden not up to par lately. I would say that they certainly got a bit stingy on their portion.
Elim and Ryan took us to Pier W for my birthday No 1. My first time there. I can see Cleveland downtown out one side of the window over the water. Had a great time sharing a wonderful meal and visiting with two wonderful people.
