Last week I worked on the little quilt with little squares, using my friend's sewing machine. While it is very smooth and quiet while sewing, I missed my own, so I was happy to pick it up Thursday from the shop. Now it also sounds smooth and quiet. My goal for this quilt was 16 squares, which I have completed. But yesterday when I pressed them and began to square them to 10 1/2 inches I saw that some of the 10 square columns are really too short, probably because it took me a while to be comfortable with Carol's machine, with knowing where the quarter inch seam allowance fell. So it looks like some unsewing is called for.
This week I must begin clearing off the desk in my sewing room to prepare it for E to work on when she and her family arrive next weekend. Other chores include cleaning up the baby gate (currently in the garage) for the stairs, borrowing Dena's high chair, taking clothes currently stored in the crib to the Salvation Army, getting ahead in my practicing (while e was content enough in her stroller last fall while I played organ, I'm not sure I can count on that this visit), cleaning the guest bathroom, setting up a diaper changing station, choosing the best room to play in, and on and on.
