As you can see from this photo I had time to sew yesterday and that means that our local Social Security office is well run by very pleasant people! There was a line when I got there (at opening) but they were very efficient and I was out within 35 minutes of the door opening. I didn't need my crochet bag or snacks! In fact, I made 6 stops on the way back and was home by 11:00. Then I got busy sewing on Red Sunset. I got the veins added to the blue pieces so you can get a better idea of how it's going to look in the photo above. Those were the last sections to piece before I could start sewing the center section together. Of course there's a very specific order for piecing the top together and these are the first blocks to go together. They are the hardest to sew together so I'm glad to get them over with first. I got the 8 "lefts" done and will start the "rights" possibly this weekend. It's also possible that I don't sew on Red Sunset at all this weekend because today and tomorrow are sewing with my quilt club. I picked this kit to sew on and I'm pretty sure I have cut enough for 2 quilts in this package. Mom is staying with us tonight and tomorrow so I may not get any sewing done at all and that's perfectly fine. There's always next week.
I hope you have a great weekend and get to do something fun for yourself.

Red Sunset is so pretty! I am glad your visit to the SS office was quick. Question - would you want the empty zippered plastic bags those California King sheets are in for kitting up projects? I hate to just throw them in the trash. I need to send you a quilt top or two for veteran quilts anyway so I could just tuck those in with them. 9/10/2022 07:54:29 am
Hooray for an easy visit to the SSA office. I opted for early SS benefits and I was lucky that I was able to do everything online.

So glad to hear the dreaded visit was a lot easier (and quicker!) than expected. Yet again there's proof that going prepared for the worst just might turn out for the better. 9/10/2022 10:37:06 am
