Rainy Days in the Quilting room

October 12, 2012 
Christmas is fast approaching. I have two (2) quilts that I need to bind and just cannot seem to get to them. Every day the tenants call me with fires that need to be put out at the apartment buildings I manage. How can a girl get anything done in the quilting studio when she has to work. 
I also have a drunkard path 150 squares on the wall that have to be sewn together. I have been thinking of hiring someone to just come and sew together quilt for me that I design.
then I could get caught up. ( I have also been hoping to win the California lottery...HA..Ha)  :)   I guess I will have to just continue plugging along. 

First thing at 10:00 am I have to go to pick up one of my sewing machines, it has been in for its yearly cleaning. I took it to the Sew Hut  (http://www.sewhut.com) in clairemont, part of San Diego.  They service your computer machine for $65.00. That is right... everyone else in San dingo I called wanted over $100.00.   I took in my Pfaff 7570 sewing machine. All my friends love that machine, and it sews great.  I have not seen it for almost 2 weeks and I am going through distress of loss of my favorite machine. 
there is nothing like sitting down and sewing on your favorite machine. 

It raining last night here in Spring Valley so hard I through the roof of the house would cave in. I know we need rain, but it just pounded the roof tops. 
Yesterday afternoon, before it started raining I went out in to they yard, and my yard is close to 1/2 acre, and spread around fertilizer. When I go buy fertilizer I come home with 2 large bags, that I use one time and then it is gone.  I used all of it up yesterday, but the rain really soaked it into the ground, So in about 2 weeks I will see the results with lot of new flowers and growth. However I do this every month during the winter so next summer The yard is really looking great. 

Well I have to run and go get my machine and hopefully spend the afternoon in the quilting studio.
