Decisions

I've made a decision not to do any more Disney blocks.  I have so many right now that I made and was not able to get signed.  I will take them with me, and hopefully get the signatures I need.  Also I have some blank blocks to take so that if I see characters whose signatures I don't have, I can have them sign a blank block and add the appliqued picture when I get home.  And I think I will buy or make an autograph book so that if I run out of blocks, I can still get the signatures and then transfer them to a block later.

So what to do next?  I think I will buttonhole stitch the Be Attitudes blocks that need that done.  And maybe cut and put together some of the background blocks.  There is embroidery to be done on most of the blocks.  Do you embroider before or after you quilt the blocks?

I did nothing yesterday.  In the morning I waited for the FedEx man to bring our new phones.  He finally showed up at 11:00, with only one phone.  Seems that Verizon entered a zero amount when they submitted my order to the credit card company, and so it was declined.  I was livid, and gave both Verizon and the Credit Union a piece of my mind (not that I had a lot to spare).  Then Kris and Mary and their kids showed up and spent the afternoon with me.  It was a nice excuse not to do anything, since I had a headache, stomach ache, and nausea from the increased dosage of Vic.  Today, I feel pretty good, and love seeing the low numbers that I'm now posting.  So, this morning I'm off to the sewing room and will hopefully accomplish something before my new toy phone arrives. Hope your day is great.

I can't wait to see your Be blocks. I know you will love your iPhone, I have the Android which is like the iPhone and I can't tell you how much I like it. I'm so glad to hear that your meds are working.

Can't wait to see some of your "B" blocks... I agree with you about stopping the Disney blocks...they come out with new characters so often you could never keep up...

I embroider before I quilt...

I, too, embroider first. I'm in the process of getting some kind of smartphone......just can't decide which one yet and really don't know how to proceed to get the best deal with the best price (since all I've ever had up until now was a regular old pay-as-you-go TracPhone). There's so much out there and it gets rather confusing...at least to me. Hope you stop getting the med side effects soon, but glad your numbers are so much better now.
