Mia's Quilt

Hi friends!

A Monday finish, just need to wash the basting  spray out and de-thread it and I will be finished.

The binding!

I hope she likes it. Didn't use all of her shirts, had plenty with these.

VERSE OF THE DAY August 30 Job 38:4-7 4 “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation? Tell me, if you understand. 5 Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it? 6 On what were its footings set, or who laid its cornerstone— 7 while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?

Random!

Hi friends! 

Still working on binding.

The sweetest person in the whole USA send me this! I didn't win , Julierose won but guess this was the runner up prize. Can't wait to play with those adorable 5 inch squares.

My latest diamond painting.

Love all the Christmas ones.

Yesterday's trip to the garden. Our tomato's are busting from all the rain, so I picked them before they change color hoping that will stop it. Pouring down rain today so I may not make it out their.

Some of these are yellow tomato's! They seem to be less into busting.

This is all we are getting now but we have a freezer full of the best corn.
We are planning to stay at home ans be safe. Hope you do to.

A friend wanted this quilt bigger, so I will take the binding off and add some red and black and some blocks into it. It's just baby quilt size .

So I have plenty to keep me busy for a while.

Ready to get this sewed on the quilt , then hand sewed down.

Something Weird

Hi friends! Our clock have gone crazy! Yesterday it said it was 140 degrees! Now it says this! See the sun, it's pouring down rain! Tommy said that must stand for Hot Hot!  We have another and the temp on it is this.

It's messed up to! See under neath the 142! 

That seam got wild with the pull on it so out it came yesterday.

How I sew when the quilt gets heavy!

Yesterday I went to get something out of the freezer that is by the back door and saw a deer running around in the back yard acting strange then a spotted fawn came over to her and that was what she wanted . Strange way to call a baby but as normal my camera was in the sewing room so didn't get any pictures. He was so cute , long legged and spotty.

Getting Close

Hi friends! Woke up to rain this morning. Must have rained a while from the water in the yard.

Still working on that last row for Mia's Quilt.

 Thinking about using this tiny dot fabric for the binding. Not decided yet! On this picture it looks sightly pink but it matches better than that. The bigger it gets the harder it is to pull around. Going to be a heavy quilt.

On the other end!

Hoping for a finish this week. Stay safe

Sunday Verse

 

VERSE OF THE DAY August 23 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. Read 2 Corinthians 12 READ IN PARALLEL | COMPARE TRANSLATIONS

Last row!

 Hi friends!

It's like putting pieces of a puzzle together , all different sizes and shapes. But want be long now! 

Rainy day here or rather cloudy all we have got since I got up was a sprinkle. Suppose to get 2 inch's but if both of those "things" out in the gulf come over us we will likely get more than that. Wouldn't mind if it rained all weekend. but they are "Landing" Monday or Tuesday.  About that time of the year for them to started.

Hope to get a hour to work on this today. Stay safe

 Hi friends.

Our trip to the Dr. yesterday was lots better,  we were out in 20 minutes instead over two hours the day before. But we were tired form being on the road and sitting in Dr's office for two days so we rested , I got up on washing.

I still have to finish that row and add it to it.

There is her Ga. Teck colors. They do a deeper gold and blue to but primary colors are gold and white. She has already left for college and started classes. but she will have her's before cold weather.

Getting closer, maybe this weekend?

 Hi friends.

Getting closer and closer. 

Yesterday we spent most of the day at Dr. Arkin's office. When we finally got back there , he wanted some test done so we did that and waited to talk to him again. Then they made Tommy a apt. with a Retna Dr., in the same office I went to for my retna detaching a few years ago.

Tommy was so hoping for no apt's next month!

 When we got home we were to tired to move! Today we have another Apt for him in Rome with his cancer Surgent, it's been five years and if nothing shows on his cat scan he should release him and he want have to see him next year.! At least we have a couple of weeks before we go again.  May just go to bed when we get back!

Stay safe friends

 Hi friends!

Worked on this a little while last night after canning all afternoon.

Lost a neighbor to covid! He lived across the street from me many years when I lived in town. He was getting better the last we had heard but then this happened.

Put up some more soup starter. I think that's plenty for us. Should last all winter.

Made head way on this though.

Need some more t-shirts cut up for the rest of that row. Four more at least.

Not much longer I hope till this is a finish.

Stay safe

Putting Mia's Quilt together

 Hi friends!

Got some work done on this over the weekend. 

Some of these are bigger than others so I am not trying for the same size blocks.. Just the same length.

Put up tomato's Friday , was hoping some one would visit and I could unload some on family. Didn't happen so today more soup starter.

I cut these between rows a little bigger to join the rows, 2 1/2 for in the rows and three for between rows.

Four rows together, that's a good start.

Stay safe, 350 cases here so far.

Alisha , my granddaughter

Hi friends!

Alasha came yesterday and played with her machine my Sis gave her.  I told her she needed to get a tiny screw driver and showed her mine. Showed her how to fill the bobbin and thread it up. Then I gave her some fabric and a rotary cutter and old mat I had  and a ruler to start her off with. Hoping to have one that loves to quilt!

Before she left she helped me gather in the garden and we send some soup starter and a bunch of orka home to her mother.

I showed her how to can while I put this up. three quarts and three pints. Its hard to find canning supplies this year so I am just putting up what I can.

After she left I worked a little while on Mia's quilt. Our tomato's have had so much rain that they are busting while still on the plants. Today I hope to find lids so I can put up some more , I have the big ones but don't know if I have enough of that size jars.

We will see

Stay safe
