Earlier this week, I had a friend over to help me learn more about my HQ16. We spent the whole day talking, sharing, and trying some new things. We each have something new to try during the week. I am going to practice doing pantographs and she is going to do some free-motion quilting. We will meet again next Tuesday and check in on our progress.
I feel that I will be able to do this, but I have been down hard for two days with some virus. This afternoon I can finally almost hear, but I still have only a little voice. (Poor Kevin had to put up with being totally ignored last night, simply because I could not hear him and my voice was an inaudible whisper.) I slept yesterday, but today I have dozed only a little and actually put the ornaments on the big tree. I am pleased with the results and the memories conquered up as I worked. Usually I do all the decorating while listening to Christmas music, but since I could not really hear it, I did not waste the energy. In between boxes, I had to rest which seemed weird, I tried to sleep, but instead I did some hand quilting and read a few chapters.
Tomorrow is another day. I have fabric mounted in the quilt frame, so I will be able to try some of the pantographs before going to work. I will share some photos after I have a little practice time.
Hope all of you are enjoying the Advent season and are not letting the "Christmas" frenzy get to you.
