Today I worked but not taking care of patients or teaching. I substituted for a nurse who has an administrative type job so she could have the day off to pursue one of her many hobbies, embroidering. When I got off at five, I went by the sewing center to see what she was doing and found her and some others at their fancy computerized machines doing some part of this lovely intricate pattern. A few clicks and the needle knew just what to do, 15,000 stitches per square. The picture is the finished product after the flowers are attached. Sewing machines have come a long way from the $88 dollar Singer portable that served me well in the sixties and seventies!
