 I haven't accomplished much over the last 2 days except for these 2 new lap quilt tops. The red in the photo is actually more of a fuschia pink. But the overriding vibrancy is the same. I sure hope some child likes these! I need to make 2 more in this color palette and then I can move on to some blues. These bring my total to 8 (of an estimated 28).
I also spent too many hours getting and setting up my new phone. I have to re-download all of my audiobooks but everything else transferred over. There's just a lot of checking and changing settings. I don't know about you but buying a phone is about as exciting as buying a microwave. It's mostly annoying. Hopefully I can keep from dropping this one and it will last more than 3 years. There hasn't been anymore quilting on Mom's quilt but I sort of have a plan for finishing it. I decided that I want to do some sort of floral motifs in the green areas but I don't have any experience with freehand florals. Then I received a notification for a new online quilting class by Bethanne Nemesh called Blooming Botanicals. Perfect! I took her feathers class a couple of years ago and it was one of the best classes I have ever taken. For this one I can use some of the lap quilts for practice and then finish off on Mom's quilt. So I'll finish the stars on Mom's quilt and then take it off for a few weeks. I should be able to squeeze in a couple of veterans quilts before I start practicing on the lap quilt. I'm not sure how much will get done this weekend. We are going to visit a friend in Charlottesville Sunday to watch my Eagles play so I'll only have Saturday to get some things done. But I have the rest of this week and no more phones to set up.

Getting a new phone is the worst! Too much to figure out. 1/25/2023 03:12:08 pm
I hate getting a new phone - yes most of it you can transfer over but sometimes you have to really work at it.

My last two phones have been surprisingly simple to set up. But that was mostly because the previous phone was still working and it pulled all the information/settings/etc straight from the old one.

I hear you about shopping, buying and setting up a new phone. I'd rather purchase a microwave! But, I need the dang thing for more than making a call. Interesting isn't it how many other activities we do with our phones now.

Setting up a phone - shudder!! There's nothing I would hate more especially when it's not something I bother using other than when we need to pick up our groceries. Comments are closed.
