A little bit of Sewing

Hi friends!
I am down to hair scrunchies for Elastic. Ordered some Saturday but may be a while before it comes.
Just made this for me.

Kind of crooked but it will work.
I worked on twin boy quilts Friday and Sat. mostly ripping out quilting but I think they are now ready for binding if I can find some thing to bind them with.
The sun shined yesterday then the storms wasn't as bad as we were afraid they would be.

Need to clean up my sewing room and find some more boy scraps to cut up.
But after while we will call in a grocery order and pick it up.
Have a great day

Threads

Hi friends!
I finally got around to sandwiching those baby quilts.

The twins are due in July but sometimes twins come early so I needed to get busy.
I am sure you have heard of "Wish" you can order all kinds of things from them. Well one day I saw a site selling thread! Nice big spools of our sewing threads!
Ordered some and today I got my order!

I put my rotary cutter on it to show the size of the spools!
Not what the picture showed!!!!
It showed nice large spools! Want be ordering from them again.
Hate being lied to!
Just hope it not rotten!
I will let you know if it is.
Have a great day

Sunday

Hi friends!
They are thinking 3 tornado's hit here on Sunday.
One hit right about a mile and a half from us.Dropped some trees onto some house pulled up some more and then climbed the hill pulling up trees as it went.
Then it landed on the other side of the hill right on a trailer park. I haven't seen it yet but they were showing pictures of total destruction.
These are just on this side of the hill.

The worst damage was on the other side of our hill.
No one was killed so we are blessed.

Tornado!!

Hi friends!
Rough night!
They don't know weather three tornadoes hit here or one that was really moving. But they think 3!
But we are fine!
We sat in the hall in the middle of the house until it was over.
Haven't walked the land  looking for damage but since our power is still on then we were blessed.

Tommy was afraid it would blow the barn shed away or on his tractor so he put it on our covered porch.
They say 40 homes here were destroyed, but no lives were lost so we were all blessed.
I was on Facebook with my daughters all five of them and my sweet Angel in Texas and more Grand kids here during it all.
Facebook is great as long as your power stays on.

Reading and Sewing

Hi friends,
Got my featherweight fixed , a thread was stuck behind the bobbin case.
Now it sews fine. so I made these. I think this one:

This one may need a repairman.

See how bad the stitches on the right are but on the left they are good. From the featherweight!

This may be the last book by Clara Benson on my kindle. I have read at least eight!
At least I am getting to read some good books, 
I have always loved to read.
 Stay safe friends

This and That

Hi friends,
My featherweight started skipping Tuesday and usually I can get it to quit but it refused to stop and then yesterday my brother messed up. So I am still on the first mask that I started yesterday.

Our Christmas present from my sister has been working great.
I have named him "Leroy" a working little man!
I put him in the living room , turn him on and go out and close the door. Great when you need to do something else. I saw them at Walmart the last time we went before this mess started.

When the news get's to me I sit down and work on this. It does calm you down and that helps. I am a nervous eater and I don't need to eat!
Hope every one is safe inside

Family Masks

Cleaning

Hi friends!
Yesterday I started cleaning up my sewing room. Buy cutting up every scrap I find in their.

First I finished this star that I cut out the day before.
Going to cut up 3 1/2 inch square to go into a baby boy quilt in the process.

This is hanging off of trees here and there all over this country. And so pretty this time of year. The smell is wonderful. Tommy says he can't smell it!
We had our first death from this horrible virus, a 82 year old man.
They are not giving names !
We have three in the hospital. Pray for them
stay safe

Randon Things

Hi friends!
Still making mask!
Yesterday I cut one out from fabric  but didn't sew it up.

Cut for another star!
But things are so bad right now that I can't settle down.
 Hopefully this week it will peak and start down.

Been sewing on a pocket and adding a coffee filter  in the pocket.
They are saying  to put your mask after you use it , into a plastic bag and zapping it in the microwave.
I used one thing of elastic for ties on this one.

A friend of ours that we worked sent this to us when my oldest died 15 years ago and it's just keep growing.

The other hanging basket my son and daughter in law gave  for mothers day last year.
Every thing died but that and it's blooming.
We are spending a lot of time while the sum shines on the porch.

First purple bloom!
Have a good one but stay safe

Spring Flowers

This Wisteria smells so good.

You can see it over the road in the pasture of our neighbor.

These white flags are blooming and the Yellow ones are budding,

This I bought last year and they bloomed all winter on my  enclosed porch. The sun hit's it most of the day.
Stay safe my friends

Made another block for my veterans quilt.
I got a email from Fat Quarter shop yesterday saying it could be 30 days before I got my order but the mail man run this morning.

Fabric and Books

Hi friends!
Found a few more scraps!
I am wondering! Some people are not opening packages but spraying them down with bleach and leaving them 24 hours before opening.
That might not work for a package of fabric!
I'm suppose to get a package tomorrow of fabric!

This is a picture of Alice Duncan, she writes a books about a 1920's girl named Daisy Majesty. Not really a mystery but is very interesting .
I have read in the last few days at least 6 of her books on my kindle.
In her household is her, her husband Billy nearly destroyed in ww1, her father that has a bad heart , her mother that's a bookkeeper for a local hotel and her aunt vi. that cooks for a local rich family. Daisy does seances for rich people.
I loved it!
Have a good one and stay safe
