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

Mia's Quilt

 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

Mia's Quilt

 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

Garden and Mia's Quilt

 Hi friends! 

Last week we put one nearly 160 ears of corn, this is the last picking and we got over three dozen.

Put up five quarts of soup. 

Yesterday was our 23 anniversary, since we gave up eating out because of Covid  19 we went to the next towns Sonic. Big celebration but we use to eat there a lot after spending hours with Tommy's mother at the nursing home on my weekend's off.  Tommy went every Sunday but I worked every other Sunday.

I went out to the garden this morning and got this basket full.
Got some sewing done on Mia's quilt this weekend. Started putting it together!

Going to be a very colorful quilt.

All four years of her high school.

Got to put up some tomato's today, hopefully!

Stay safe , love all my friends

Last week-end

Hi friends!

Had great plans for this past weekend but got very little done. Still putting together to quilt.

Got that little done on Saturday.... Nothing yesterday, spend the afternoon talking to Kim and Richard.

Sis came over for a while , we sat on the back porch and talked. She was tested for the virus but she just has a bad summer cold.

She brought me this for Alisha for me to oil and test to see if it still sews. I oiled it yesterday

Haven't threaded it yet to see if it's good but the needle goes up and down.

She has had this sense the 70's. I have some old ones but they are all missing some vital part, or need fixing!

I will work on it later today and if it works I will call Alisha, after all she is the only grand that seems to be interested.

Have a great day

stay safe
