Onward

Today my girl and one of her friends are driving up north as she moves for her new job. It'll probably take her three or four days to get there, and then we're flying her friend home. Send good thoughts their way, please.

My fingers are pretty sore so I'm going to take a short break from quilting, but I have this lovely pile of recycled and vintage linen waiting for me when I decide I'm ready to start a big quilt. I also picked up a couple of hand-dyed fabric bundles so I can do some smaller slow stitch projects:

I have a thing for moire satin, and I thought the peachy color of the vintage yardage I bought (on the bottom) would go nicely with this green and apricot bundle.

I don't know what I'm going to do with this bundle. It came with about a yard of burlap, but I'm saving that for something else. Maybe I'll turn it into some mini art quilts for my journal.

I'm also going to see my doctor today, so if you have extra good thoughts I'll take them.

Good thoughts for you and Kat!
I'm glad Kat is taking a driving companion. I once had to make a long car trip alone, and wouldn't you know it, the car's fuel filter plugged. Longest trip ever.

Hope your doctor's appointment is speedy and productive.

Lots of good thoughts and prayers coming your way and Kat's as well. And her friend. It's a long drive when you're alone.

I really love all those fabric packs but maybe the bottom one piqued my interest the most.

I'm hoping the doctor's appointment goes well.

Yay, Kat! I hope the drive is an easy one. If she's going to be anywhere near my neck of the woods, please give her my contact info. Happy to offer any help/respite/home cooking I can. xo

Old Loves & Such

My guy kindly bought me my favorite Chinese take out the other night, and my fortune cookie offered up an interesting story starter: This sounds sweet, right? Only the first thing I thought of was an old love coming back from the dead . . . . must be October. In other lovely news, my favorite hand-dyed thread artist, Lorraine from Colour Complements , is moving her business from Etsy to her own web site. Many of my favorite sellers on Etsy are leaving due to the whole "free shipping" coercion debacle, which has also soured me on the site. To show support I did a little shopping at Lorraine's web site and got in these: I love her threads and trims; you simply can't buy anything like them anywhere. Her work makes my specialty thread box look like a treasure chest: At night I'm spending just as hour working on quilting the scrap project runner, and I'm making slow progress: I'll keep quilting the runner while I try to decide on a design for t...

Wild Ride

Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds is an epic, dazzling film that hurls you into the Korean version of the afterlife while showcasing some of the most impressive special effects I've ever seen in any movie. The story begins with the death of firefighter Kim Ja-Hong (Cha Tae-hyun) who jumps out of a burning building with a child in his arms. The kid lives, but he dies at the scene. Two strangers inform him that he has passed away right on schedule, and toss him into a vortex that takes him to the world of the afterlife, where he meets his three guardians: Gang-rim (Ha Jung-woo), Haewonmak (Ju Ji-hoon) and Lee Deok-choon (Kim Hyang-gi). At the gates of the afterlife Ja-Hong learns that he is considered a paragon (an exemplary person who lived a noble and self-sacrificing life) and is eligible to be reincarnated -- but there's a catch. First he has 49 days to make it through seven hells in which he will be judged on his sins. His three guardians will help and defend...

Progress

My guy is back home safe, sound and exhausted. I think he just realized he's over seventy now. :) I didn't finish a sewing project while he was gone, but I did make some progress on the beach bag. I've tacked down all the fabric elements on top of the old backing fabric I quilted. Time to break out the embroidery thread box and have some fun.
