Kevin and I decided to just play catch-up today. He needed to get some things for the motorhome, and I really needed to get the fabric for a quilt cut out. We did have brunch at a place called Mo’s Egg Place, and I was pleasantly surprised. They had lovely pumpkin pancakes, and Kevin said his biscuits and gravy were pretty good.
After brunch, Kevin went looking for a thermostatically controlled extension cord and a tiny ceramic heater to use in the wet bay. It is going to be 15 degrees tonight, and the bay needs a bit of extra help with temps that low. We are running on our tanks, not connected to the campground facilities. That keeps external hoses from freezing. Our neighbor next door didn’t do that, and his hose was frozen this morning. Kevin loves shopping, and he took about 3 hours looking for the items in various stores in Bend and Redmond. He was successful,with the heating supplies, but he couldn’t find the specific screws he needs to repair a small piece of plastic trim around the basement slide out, so he just left again.
I needed to get a new quilt cut out, and I got it done! I had to review the pattern (lots of colors and pieces), starch all the fabrics (lots of bias edges on this one), then cut lots of pieces. Here is the result.
The arrows are various gray tone low contrast fabrics and the background is a dark gray. There will be a single red arrow, and I will have it turned the other direction. I bought the fabric as a kit, and I am quite happy with the fabrics. However there are a few extra pieces that I worry about! I had a friend who makes custom cutting templates make plexiglass templates for the flying goose parts (the arrow heads). Well worth the money! Thanks Diane. I don’t think I will get the sewing machine out yet since we will be sightseeing tomorrow (though we haven’t decided where yet).
