It’s a Wrap

I dropped my friend off at the airport late this morning. Today is my last day of vacation… back to work tomorrow. It’s a wrap.

The house seems really quiet and empty tonight.

It rained a little this morning and it was cool all day. It was pretty dark by 7:30. It feels like fall is very serious this year.

After I dropped my friend of at the airport I went directly to the pickleball courts to meet my coach for two hours of drilling. My coach was in Texas visiting family the entire time I was on vacation. I only played twice in the last two weeks. So I was in desperate need of some practice and it was really good and fun to see my coach. And he worked me hard and I was exhausted after the two hours. But it felt good to work on my skills.

Two of the four pieces of Aboriginal fabrics I ordered to finish my Libby quilt arrived today.

That Etsy really over-communicates on package delivery! I think I got two emails a day about where my fabric was… so much information. And early delivery on top of it.

I still need the bright yellow piece to finish the corners. The fourth piece was just something I wanted. The yellow fabric is supposed to arrive on Saturday. I may wait to start on finishing the corners until I have that final piece.

I didn’t have a lot of oomph for sewing tonight so all I mustered was cutting out the fabric for three pairs of mitred corner napkins.

I’m messaging my pickleball coach this evening about practice tomorrow after work so it’s unlikely I’ll get much sewing done tomorrow night. Have to take advantage of the early fall days before the rain starts and have to make up for lack of practice during vacation.

  1. I’m glad you had so much fun with your friend. I always hate how quiet the house seems after company leaves. Hopefully, your other fabric arrives on schedule so you can continue working on your quilt. The napkins are beautiful – love the fabric!

    1. It really is gorgeous. I was thinking it was too dark and looked for other blue fabrics in my stash but decided to go with it because it looked so cool with the blue damask flower.

  4. Love the napkins! Are you going to do the reverse?

    Fall is definitely coming with later sunrise and earlier sunsets. Mosquitoes however, are horrific right now, can’t spend any time in my garden.

    Taking the owls to my LAQ tomorrow. Then I will mork on some clothes and maybe a bag or 2.

    Hope back to work goes gently.

    2. And yes on the mosquitos! I had a lesson with my pickleball coach this evening that ended as it was getting dark. We stayed and talked for a few minutes and I have bites all over my legs!
