It's been a busy week....so what else is new, right! It's not easy being a retiree! But someone has to do it! Earlier this week, Joan (left), Donna and I went to see the movie, Downton Abby! Bob said this picture looked like a scary movie! HA
Carol and I ate at this restaurant, The Grafted Root, a week or two before and the sandwiches were delicious so I thought Donna and Joan might enjoy. And they did!
This is quite a small cafe but good food and they serve all types of wine and cocktails. Works for me! They are in a small mall in Grand Blanc and worthwhile to stop for breakfast or lunch. I think they close at 3 so get there early! The Grafted Root Eatery.
I have been working on my 3rd horse quilt!
I sandwiched with backing and batting, which I didn't mean to do!!! The batting, yes, but not the backing! I machine stitched around each of the rectangle stamp areas.
I intend(ed) to do hand stitching, which I'll usually do just through the front and batting because it's hard to stitch through all three layers...but I forgot! DUH!
I found it easier to not go through all 3 layers, which is working so far. I fused tiny strips of the paper on top of the areas I stitched.
So far I've hand stitched three of the rectangles! HA Slow going but at least I am working on it in between lunch out, movies and knitting...oh yea, cooking, cleaning, dog walking, walking with my bud, etc. I do keep busy! HA
Glad you got to the movie- I've not yet seen it, but it's on the list. I'm sure those rectangles are tedious, but they do look good!
ReplyDeleteYou've got a series going now, fabulous
ReplyDeleteThe horse is looking good! There was a recent marathon of Downton Abby on A&E. I have never watched it, but had it on for company as I sewed. I was kind of getting into it and learning who was who, but there is a lot I missed! One of these days I will have to borrow the DVD's from the library and start at the beginning then I can see the movie.
ReplyDeleteI saw the movie with friend and we both really liked it. We thought they were either wrapping things up or setting the stage for the next generation's story. There weren't more than a handful of us in the theater, so I don't know how they can stay in business!

ReplyDeleteI’m a huge fan of Downton Abby……sure wish this movie would be streaming…..not driving 2 hrs. round trip with these gas prices to see it……esp. since we pay far too much on streaming services. Maybe the low audience numbers will help move it over to streaming. But you loved it right??
