Weekend

Yesterday I figured out what to do in the middle of the chuppah. An embroidered dupionni silk circle with birds. I managed to get the circle and lining cut out and edges zigzagged and determine the placement of the birds. At noon, Maggie picked me up so we could go to the Creativ Festival. She is very active in her guild and needed a volunteer to "person" their booth at the Festival. I managed to sell 12 raffle tickets and bought 3 myself. I also got to browse and am proud to say that the only purchase I made was some batt to finish the baby quilts. Not that I didn't see nice fabric, threads, etc. but I'm trying to be frugal. I also managed to finish binding three tartan pieces. Since I had one done before, I now only have 8 left. Ha ha.
Also, while browsing, I stopped in at the Brother display to ask a question about my sewing machine and learned a few neat tricks while I was there. But I also taught the teacher a thing or two she didn't know about the machine!
When I got home at 7:30 p.m., there was no power. Discovered I find it difficult to sleep with no music, TV, computer and fridge humming noises. The last time I remember looking at the time (on my cell phone) it was 10:30. Still no power. I'm not sure when it came back on.
I started the embroidery on the circle. Flowers in silk and embroidery threads. Not sure how to make it cohesive but I'll work on it. I want to make serious headway on the chuppah today. So I'm off to bind, embroider, bind, embroider.
