Today I just emerged from zombie mode. The definition of a zombie is: a will-less, and speechless body (where things seem to happen out of your control). I had become a zombie for a number of reasons. First, from being a virgin stick shift driver, and deciding to lease a stick shift mini Cooper during the busy summer season in New Jersey. On top of that dealing with the stress of preparing for my daughters wedding, and having shingles emerge from that. You might not believe it, but I can even top that, with the fact that I left my shoes behind at the house, instead of taking them to the wedding, and then accidentally spilling a whole glass of very good red wine on my golden Spanish lace gown, which is lined in white (having not even had a sip of it, no less.) Would you not call that a zombie?
My sister Carol and cousin Cindy saved the day by applying Oxy-Clean immediately to the stain. We watched it disappear, right in front of our eyes!
It made me think in my head, of a cute little song about Oxy-Clean, using the melody from the USA Coast Guard Medley.
That melody is frequently sung by the Robert Sharon choral, which I sing with in Florida. Try to imagine these words to that melody.
Oxy-Clean will save the day!
From Stain to grimey goo.
Soak and seep
No stains too deep
OH, Oxy-Clean is there for you!
The day after the wedding was successfully over, I finally had time to relax for an hour and do something I enjoy. Quilting, of course. It's my therapy. So I worked on my Orange Peel Pattern quilt.
I want to finish the top of the Orange Peel Pattern quilt to take on a cruise trip coming up soon. I plan to do the hand quilting while in the Baltic Sea area. The only problem is that the orange peel pattern creates many bulky seams where the blocks connect. So this quilt may have denser seams, than I would like. Most of the piecing has been done by machine, but now as a last resort, I am trying the invisible hand stitch.
If anyone has hint of how to deal with this issue, please let me know.
The picture is of the "Wine Tasting Table" quilt made using the Orange Peel Pattern, that I am working on. It is attached to a flannel design wall.
