But I have been plodding along with all sorts of projects nevertheless.
Today I’ll finish the quilt on the longarm and will trim and bind it.
I did finish my name tag for the Charleston Modern Quilt Guild. I kept this one simple and…modern.
Along the way I learned how to monogram with my new Janome 6700’s alphabet, which was fun. The camera picked up the shadow lines in the name making it look rough, but it isn’t.
I donated both my old Janome 6600 and the Janome 8900, so there’s that.
I soaked the Anson Mill’s rough grits last night, so I’ll be cooking those at noon today. I can’t wait!! The rest of my meal is already cooked and will just need reheating.
This afternoon a clean water company is coming to test my water and to recommend a whole-house water filtration system. I got spoiled in Maine with my well water. This water has red iron residue and reeks of chlorine–and I know there is fluoride in it as well. I’m not sure about reverse-osmosis for the kitchen sink as I don’t like the taste of it. (RO removes ALL the minerals, some of which we need.)
So, I’m looking forward to learning more about water in this region. And I do use a Clearly Filtered pitcher for my drinking and (some) cooking water.

Love your name tag! Quite inspired. I agree with you on water — I’m in Florida and I have a well. Often when I go places (like church meetings) I take my water with me. I do have a reverse osmosis unit on the house — there’s a lot of iron in my water. The grits sound yum. I need to make those more often — I often forget about them! As a Southerner, I should not admit that I suppose!!!! 😂
