Yesterday was a two sided day. After physical therapy, I met Lynsey at the Rea Road library for tutoring...TBTG a friend of mine found the perfect tutor...after at least 20 tries..wasting valuable time...Algebra is hard stuff. Lynsey had been struggling for quite awhile. I was delighted to have been there to meet her tutor to be sure it went well. Paying, I felt that it was worth a million dollars. Just wish we had found her sooner..Lynsey is only 15. She cannot find her own tutor for homeschooling .Algebra is a struggle for some of us.
Look at the lovely view at my window seat at the library where I read 12 quilting books while I waited.
Today rain...we need it so. And, a finish. Of course threads still have to be snipped (I hate that part!!)
But, I am calling it a finish....baby or wheelchair size.
Lately, my PayPal finger has been itching to exercise. On Jaipur Carts out of India on Etsy, came 4 Kantha cloth quilts.
Thanks to my online chat with friend, Sujata Shah....I have washed these...cold water, delicate cycle...and into the dryer..
I needed her suggestion on how to launder these.
They came out grand...Now what will I make out of it????
This orange one seems to be all Rayon...All the stitching looks hand done, but I know that cannot be true...Wish I had the machine that makes it look hand sewn.
The second one:washed and dried, the red Kantha seems to be all cotton...Very strange to me...but interesting...What should I make with this one??

The purple Kantha is also rayon. Both orange and purple are crib size, The cotton one above is twin.

The afternoon was awful..It made me cry that folks can be so hateful.....
However, I did cheer myself with a treat from Trader Joe's
The roses are stunning...and so are the Dianthus...I just bought both!!!
Of course their wine is great too. A little wine, a few flowers, talking to my sister and a few friends...and voila...
Accepting that life has many avenues...Some good and some not so good...
Fabric, friends, food, fun. flowers...wow...lucky me.
Sounds like a great day with a hard bit thrown in (and thrown out). I remember having to get a tutor for my daughter when she took AP Calculus in HS and the teacher was a nightmare. It was very costly but she did well on the exam and boosted her confidence. She went on to get a Chemistry bachelors and Phd and is a chemistry professor now, so it was money well spent long ago for a wonderful tutor.
