What Quilters Do While Waiting -

It seems we spend a lot of our daylight hours just WAITING.

Waiting for the morning coffee or tea.  Waiting for the washer to finish spinning so we can put the laundry in the dryer.  Waiting for the microwave to finish heating whatever we are zapping because it can’t zap fast enough.

I spent a LOT of yesterday waiting.

From waiting room to exam room.

Waiting, waiting waiting!

And then – off to the pharmacy for miracle meds to take this bronchitis, ear infection, sinus infection down. “It will be about 45 minutes, would you like to wait?”

NO!  Not really!

But just down the road was the antique mall in West Jefferson, NC that I really love to wander, and it had been a few months.  Could there be something new?

The treadle in the top photo of this post was new to me.  Pretty thing!  I love the non-fancy craftsman style cabinet, and I an guessing somewhere in the 19-teens-to-twenties.  Just a guess.  Didn’t have the strength in me to investigate further.

Oh pretty!  This is new!

Something is going on with these sashings!

DO YOU SEE IT?

There were 3 or 4 sashings that were dark/light/dark instead of light/dark/light.  Maybe by the time she had gone this far with this quilt she had completely lost her sanity? LOL!

Or perhaps she was dealing with bronchitis, ear infections and a sinus infection and just didn’t care.  I love this – is it Wheel of Fortune?  Not quite a compass – but sort of.

I love this little desk.

But I don’t know if I have a place for it -

But it is SO SUPER CUTE.

And there may be a place for this -

But I need to wait until painting has been done to be sure.

One should never make rash decisions while waiting for medication.  And sometimes it’s okay not to buy something even if that means it won’t be there the next time you look. You can’t buy it all.  But this was tall and narrow and just might do……so we shall see.

When I was going out -

This was just being moved in!

Such a pretty one!

The bread box top says “QUEEN.”

She sure is!

Both of these machines I saw yesterday – my big concern would be if the shuttle and bobbins are present, and if they use easy to find needles.  That’s the BIG thing.

And of course, if I were the dealer, give this thing a 10 minute clean up and maker her pretty.  It looks like she’s been stored in a barn somewhere for a long long time.

Amazon’s been good to me!

Any smoking at Quiltville Inn needs to happen OFF the porch.  It’s not fair to the non-smokers to make them subject to smoke that lingers and stains on the porch, and then follows the smoking quilter back inside. 

There is a covered entry to the garage/shop should the weather be bad, or anywhere in the yard 20 feet from the porch will be okay, but definitely not on the porch, and not in the house.

The key pad lock box is for the house key, and the code can be changed with each set of guests.

The two private signs are for the office/supply areas.

Son Jeff came up yesterday to mow, and brought me Sadie, so she is keeping me company while I get through this crud.

Today’s stitching -

I started in on this last evening, and plan to continue today.  There will be a nap.  I don’t plan much of anything else at this time -  I’m hoping that the antibiotics kick in and I am back to normal in rapid fire fashion as I really don’t have time for this kind of thing!

And I’m hoping that there will be a successful nap.

Quiltville Quote of the Day -

It's about balance. And I am always trying to find the balance point in my day-to-day life.

Make one choice today that puts you in a better place of balance.

Have a wonderful Tuesday, everyone!
