Orthopedic Doctor

I had a doctor appointment in OKC with the orthopedic doctor that replaced my hip.  Next month will be one year!  Time does fly.  So Ken and I were up at our usual time and we were off to OKC.  I thought I would be released from him, but surprise surprise I get to go once a year for 5 years.  Geesh!

The cleanest corner of the room.

We made a few stops looking for pink fabric.  Finally, the third stop yielded 12 yards of three pink materials.  Then we picked up a couple of our favorite bagels from Panera and came on home.

Ken and I made dinner and a movie plans for later and off to one of the rent houses he is working on he went.  I took Rusty, the big red dog, with me to the sewing room.  I am still working on those orphan projects.  I tend to iron every seam I sew.  I was doing some piecing.  I would sew several pieces and then need to iron before the next piece was added.  While I sewed Rusty would settle down, but the second he sensed I was  moving to get up he was up running to the door.  I would only go to the ironing board. Then back to sew some more.  About the time he would settle down it was time to press again.  It was not as relaxing as it is if he is elsewhere.  I was able to finish the binding on a wall hanging, which now just needs several buttons sewn on by hand.  I am also working on a quilt top that the pieces have been cut out for  several years.  I was trying to piece the stars today.  It needs 14 star blocks.  I was able to get 7 of them complete.  The trees are complete, so 7 more stars and some setting triangles cut and I will be ready to put this one together. 

Stars and trees for a quilt top.

Today the zebra pattern came in.  That means I can get sewing on a comforter, bed skirt, shams, curtains for two windows, and some throw pillows for a little girl's room.  I am a little nervous about this undertaking.  She just said she wanted zebra and pink and gave me the paint swatches.  And said she would be happy with whatever I do.  Yikes!
Well, Ken is home and he is changing.  It is almost time for our dinner and movie date.
