A Day without a Machine

Today I went for a Birthday run. The objective is to pick a route I don't use very often and to go further than I think is possible. Mission accomplished :) I went about 8 miles and came up with several ideas for some of the material I have just waiting to become a quilt. Its interesting how pushing my tired old legs up a hill can become easy if I can get my brain to focus on quilts or material or anything other than the pitch of the hill.

I also left my sewing machine at the repair shop today - yikes. It's first check up and my first look at 2 weeks without a machine in over a year. There are other things to do than quilting, right? Guess I'll find out.
