saturday May 1st

Post by grammiequilts » Sat May 01, 2021 4:22 am

Its Mayday....good morning. we are ready and waiting our house guests. i will run a dust rag over the furniture and hope all goes well.
We have 30 here and frost...I wonder how all these folk that crowded the green nhouse buying all sorts of veggies are keeping the frost away. We never plant before may 10th here,,,according to my father and grandfather,,Ken will turn up my fence garden this week and I will plant 4 tomatoes, four green peppers and 4 cukes...that will do it for us since there are farmers markets all around us. Maybe some basil too. We used to plant a huge garden but with the 2 of us...we just plant the space bteween the fence and driveway,,,2 ft wide easy to weed and sunny and right by the back door...cucumbers gow up the fence. (we share with the neighbor if he wishes)
Not sure how much quilting will get done here this week, but I may try to sneak in. I am almost done with the mini quilt. pieced the 44 1 inch 4 patches for the border and the inner border is flying geese need to get them sewn and then do some quilting.
Hope you all have agreat day XXXXXXXXOOOOOOOO

Good morning!

Worked all day yesterday on making the shams for my bed. I don't have a pattern, so I did all the math for the cutting and assembling. So far, so good. I have a list ready, when we go to the store.

So today will be more of same.

Stay Safe!

Good morning everyone. Hope you all have lots of fun things planned for the weekend.

Today I have a patient to see and some uglies to do. Also hope to be working on some bindings.

I planted one more tomato plant of grape tomatoes. I like them in salads. Also have a zucchini and Watermelon to plant. Then lots of TLC and prayer that they grow.

Good morning everyone becca I hope all of your guests arrive and you all have a great visit hugs and prayers for you and DH too.
Jana you’re busy in the sewing room.
Today is derby day that is when we plant our gardens because that is usually the mark when there’s no more fear for frost
I’ve been doing laundry this morning getting floors mopped right now taking a break pretty sore so I’m just sitting having a cuppa coffee and a donut on the front porch
Going to head into the sewing room and get a couple UFOs done I’ve got one on the long arm that needs to be finished quilted so I want to finish that and bind it today
I want to load another one that I have sitting there ready I’ve been working on DH is Bible Quilt hand quilting it got another section done last night. I work on that while I’m sitting on the hot pad since I fractured my tailbone from the fall in the barn.
Nothing new here will be watching the grand five days a week the dear daughter in love got a promotion and for the next three months has to work five days to get trained and then she goes back to her one day off a week. I told her payment would be another grandbaby she laughed 😂😂
Well I best get off my rear and go get back to work
Hugs 🤗 prayers 🙏 happy stitching 🧵

Good morning!

Our yardwork young man is here so I only have a moment. We had to run into town to get a new ceiling fan. Ours quit, and it's going to get into the 80s today. Of course, snow on the way tomorrow. We don't plant here until almost Memorial Day also.

Judi - I hope all goes well with your company.

Becca - I know your nieces will be delighted to see you both.

Lois - it is annoying how long the dilation lasts.

Valerie - yum (except for the watermelon!) on everything you planted.

Izzy - I love the payment for watching the grand.

Have a glorious day! xoxo Sharona
