At a standstill


I got the circles and half circles finished a few days ago, but now cannot seem to make up my mind how to fill in the melon shapes.  I think I will have an easier time deciding on the other but would not bet on it.  I have set and drew melon shapes on my Kindle scribe and tried drawing in different designs for quilting and nothing at all seems right...and even if it did, I am not sure how good I would be at doing it.

Either I have gotten weaker in my old age or something because it really is a chore to move the quilt under the needle.  Even when using the walking foot.  The rest will be done either freemotion quilting, which is when I move the quilt under the needle with no help from the pressure foot.  Or I have at least considered hand quilting within the melon shapes.  

***********                                                                                                                   The plumber was supposed to come today to install the laundry sink.  He was supposed to come in the afternoon.  No one texted, called, or showed up.  A wasted day.  I did not start anything because I was afraid if I vacuumed they would text and I would not hear it.  

And any place I have dealth with will say they will text when when 3o minutes, I thin some say 20 minutes out.  I swear I don't think any have ever been even 10 minutes away.  They text and are here in about 5 minutes most of the time.  So I did not want to be upstairs and have to rush down.

So tomorrow is another day.  Maybe it will happen tomorrow.
