10.10.10 Sunday

Still riding the wave from yesterday's accomplishments.  I truly wished I had 2 more days in the Studio (or Quilt Cottage...I haven't decided on a name) but I have to stop.  My turn to teach Sunday School.  Psalm 19 is the chapter.  More of the class was engaged today.  I'm still not sure they understand me, but I keep plowing through basically sharing what I'm learning.  I hope they will want to learn for themselves and not totally rely on me.

Den and I met Ed and Jane at the farm.  I picked up and picked out some of Dorothy's more recognizable shirts for quilt pieces.  My plan is to have a virtual fabric shop where interested offspring may select the fabrics that are special to them.  We stayed too long, but it was such a nice day and the conversation was pleasant and we just relaxed for a bit.

Pat was profoundly surprised with the finished quilt.  He immediately started to tell the stories of each square to the family members present at the unveiling.  I asked him to promise to give me the details of each square for the first Blankie-ography to be published in hardcopy and digitally.  A good project to start with...I know many of the stories but not all the details.  It will be a good project during the rehab of his knee replacement scheduled for December.

We messed around until most of the light was gone.  The kids ended up not being home anyway, so I shot the breeze with Pat and shot the house and grounds with the still camera.  He finally saw the spring final version of The House That Pat Built and was again pleasantly surprised.  He could see where there was room for improvement, but overall he felt that it was an adequate representation of what he was trying to accomplish.  I want/need to get this finished so that I can turn my attentions elsewhere.  One more stop on the Noble County tour was at Scott's to drop off a new and improved trombone for Remy.  We headed for Muncie with the Wound-Vac protesting loudly all the way back.  At 10:30pm it was decided that an emergency dressing change was warranted.  It was discovered that the vacuum end had slipped off the wound and was having it's way with the side of Den's foot.  Weird!  I guess the alarm was doing what it is supposed to do.  I have ordered two books on procrastination....they should be coming in the mail....tomorrow!
