The Palm

My DSIL and I were scheduled to go to Camp Stitchalot a few weekends ago. Due to items of higher priority we had to back out. Since she had Friday off of work and since we didn't have other commitments for that day, we got together and had our own stitchy day. It wasn't a weekend, but hey it was a full day! She inspired me to get back to work on this WIP. I've made good progress and I'm now psyched for this piece again. (sorry about the fuzziness of the picture ) This pattern is across two different sheets of paper. It's hard to believe that I'm not even half way done on one of them.
My neighbor told me about this quilt shop the next town over. I went by and the owner is super nice. She even had bright red pins for my pinkeep! Now just to get started on the finishing. . . I'm feeling excited about quilting again and hopefully will sign up the next time she has a class. She had a class starting today, but I'm not sure my sewing machine is up to par. Unfortunately I hit a pin once and the head broke off. I've had it in for service once, but the machine still goes squirrelly on me now and again. I'm not a sewer so I'm not sure if this means the pin head is still in there or if this is some other issue.
I survived Zumba and it was a ball! I feel very uncoordinated doing it, but thats okay. It's just important that I keep moving. Hopefully, at the end of this class I will have lost a bit of weight.
I'm only asking for a pound - 10 would be nice, but I'm just asking for 1. Anything to get me off of this plateau that I'm currently on.
Well, I have to get dinner eaten before class. Happy stitching!
