I have used my dish mat for the first time and it did the job it was designed to do perfectly. I thought I had made it to big (16X 16) but it turned out to be just right. I still haven't found the right spot to store it so right now it is above the fridge and, when it is wet, I drape it on the kitchen counter.
I have a row and a half to do on the customer quilt and then another one will be finished. This one took longer to do as I am using a ruler to do stitch in the ditch. I have never done a complete quilt top with the ruler before so am getting a lot of practice. The further I get along, the quicker it goes. I think I am now ready to incorporate curves and other designs.
Hubby is not feeling well. He has a phlegmy cough but no temperature or aches so possibly allergy related. I will keep him dosed up with hot lemon drinks and vitamin C!
Speaking of health issues: I got the result of the dermatologists appointment to find out why my arms are so itchy. Apparently, it is due to sun damage. I always wear a sun hat when out but don't worry much about my arms-not sure why. As a red head, I am susceptible to sun burn and I have had a number of them when I was younger. Even had sun stroke once. And as a professional driver, my arm was always in the sunlight. I am thankful it isn't anything more serious. I have a topical cream to use so am hopeful that it will help.
I will be more diligent with the sun screen this summer.
blessings,
