Threads

I continued my progress on the quilts tonight. I accomplished much. One of them has the entire front finished now. The second is only a few inches from being finished on the front. And the third has a few feet of border and the colored corners to add into it. But I ran out of back thread suddenly, so I stopped for the night sooner than I had wanted. I would have liked to have finished the fronts of all three quilts. But it went this way, so I accept the earlier bedtime with gratitude and ease.

I have to get more thread tomorrow, and likely ought to go ahead and get the backings for each quilt, since that will be next after I finish everything with the fronts.

I do, however, need to iron the fronts and then wash them and wash the backings before I connects the fronts to the backs. But the sewing is getting very close to being finished for the fronts. Yippee!

Still undetermined as to whether I will ask to use the industrial machine of someone I know. It would help immensely, to be sure… I will see how the idea of asking her about it feels.

For now, sweet dreams and goodnight.

Oh! My mom watched Die Hard with us tonight. It’s a seasonal film for us. For me, mostly so because it is ridiculous to be a Christmas movie. But it is a rather well done film and is quite entertaining as a whole, so I do actually enjoy it. We watched it the other night. My mom has mentioned it several times from having heard people debating its Christmas ties lately, so I encouraged her to watch it this evening when she was over but realized it was the middle of rush hour when she was starting to get ready to leave. My husband agreed that it would be a much better way to spend her time than sitting in traffic. She accepted, and we all enjoyed the film together. (Yes, she actually enjoyed it.)

She didn’t think it’s a Christmas movie, but acknowledges that the Christmas music within it creates a seasonal flare of sorts. Haha

Anyway, goodnight!

God, thank you for the love and the family and our home today, especially. Make me and the baby and my husband well, please, and keep us safe. Keep our home safe, too, please, and always. Thank you for everything you offer to us. Help us to pursue and fulfill your will in our lives. In your name, I pray. Amen.
