My favorite summer Olympic event is Equestrian and it is sadly overlooked by the TV coverage. We don’t get the sports channel that is carrying it so I’m getting some on-line but my service is not of a level that makes that very satisfactory. I can get news and action clips that are better than nothing though. I also like Gymnastics and that IS well covered so I have been enjoying that this year. How about that team gold for the ladies!!<\/p>\n

On the sewing front, I am at a standstill. I finished the Kansas scene, but I’m thinking that I might add some borders.<\/p>\n

I need some more fabric if I do that though, so I’ve set it aside for now.<\/p>\n

For the Turbine piece, I wanted to bind it in fabrics to match the sky and the prairie, but I have only a tiny piece of the sky fabric left and it is a one of a kind hand dyed shibouri. So I went for the black but it is too confining; it sort of fights the feel of the wide open spaces of the prairie.<\/p>\n

\nRight now the binding is sewn to the front but only pinned on the back. I thought I would live with it awhile and try to like it, but it is not working.<\/p>\n

Friday I am meeting friends for our annual trip to a fabric store and lunch out. I will look for fabrics suitable for these two projects, so everything is on hold now for a few days.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile I will work on the books and listen to the Olympics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
