Quilt in a Day Forums

Good morning Everyone,
Today its suppose to go up to the 90's today

I took out my Christmas book Better not pout and have been working on the mini stockings
They have appliques on all of them so they are a nice little project for now.

Prayers go out to all

Good morning everyone.
I finished the braid quilt and it is ready to go to it’s new home. That should be sometime this week. I have started a quilt for hubby’s aunt. It is from an old pattern I got off of Moda Bakeshop. It is perfect for printed fabrics that you don’t want to cut. I have made several for people and they turn out so pretty. His aunt lives in Jacksonville, FL. I saw this fabric on Facebook that is ships like pirates used to sail and I thought it would be perfect. Well I hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Good Morning it is nice to see you all up and about. Parents got home and all is well...except the puppy Pepper didnt know her "mom" and didnt want to go near her for a few minutes. But they managed to get re aquainted.
I will unpack and do laundry today,,,There is a bit of housekeeping to do and grocery shopping is a must,
I hope to get my sewing machine set up and test drive her today. I have missed sewing...we will be in the 90s today also
Well Ken has insisted we go out for breakfast today so I need to get dressed... hope you all have a great day.

Good morning all! Another hot day here today so will stay in and sew and start a new puzzle. Not a whole lot going on here in Ohio but we are starting to get back to whatever the new normal is going to be.

Got the rhubarb that I got cut up and bagged for the freezer. So that is done. Still need to cut the watermelon I got and put in large container for the fridge. Also need to fold all the laundry I did yesterday. Sounds like an exciting day. LOL

Started reading Shannon Bream's book I got called Women of the Bible. It is interesting. I use it with my other devotions during my Bible Study each morning. I recommend it if you are interested.

Hope everyone is safe and has a good day. Need to go to town and get newspaper. Think I will stop at McDonald's and get some breakfast to bring home and eat while reading paper.

Good morning!

We have cooled a bit, on in the 90's. We leave for church in three hours, so I have a bit of time first.

Not much here. I have been enjoying watching my Giants. I sewed a bit on a project yesterday. One piece is not cooperating, so after the fourth time unsewing it, I set the project aside and will try again later today, after church.

Aaron had another scary run up another canyon to a call. He and the troopers are still trying to figure out how the car, went off the road, rolled and jumped over the small river, and didn't land in the river, but landed on the other side of the river. The canyon road was shut down for several hours and is very narrow, so people just shut off their cars and broke out the picnic lunch they brought with them, and had their picnic in the middle of the road. Made the best of the situation.

Not much else here.

Hugs and prayers,
Jana

Good morning everyone!
We hit 101° yesterday! Well I helped DD get her room all set up and it looks great! She has everything up and her theme is succulents this year, so cute! It took us 7½ hours and was I ever exhausted! She only has 1 more thing to put up, something called Math Mountain or Mountain Math LOL but it'll take her more than an hour so she said she'll do that another day. She got me home at 5:45 and I had to get supper on the table for 6 when Dad gets here....I made it on the table at 6:10, super fast fajitas LOL.
Sherry, cold watermelon sounds sooooo yummy!
Becca, 70's.... how perfect! Those are my perfect temps ❤❤
Judi, sounds like you're going to have a really good day even if housework and grocery shopping are included. Enjoy your reunion with your machine ❤. The cereal bowl would've been a bad one with me. My grands do that too because their dad does and it drives me nuts! When DD does dishes she brings out a sink full of dishes from the bedrooms. She tells the kids not to be doing it and they say "but Dad does"....I wouldn't put up with it myself. and he never gathers them up and never does dishes.
Suzette, I find some nice patterns on Moda Bakeshop too.
Lois, how little are the stockings? I bet they're cute!
Maryz, we're having that same conversation... the next time it needs painted we're hiring it out.... we both are in total agreement LOL
Jana, oh my goodness that sounds like a bad bad wreck! I hope you can figure your project out when you get back to it.
Well today I will be the lovely assistant for hanging siding and I need to water out front and back and vacuum, dust, do bathrooms and I think windows really need to get started here. I think we're going out with one of Frankie's sister's and her hubby for supper.
Prayers for all in need.
You all have a great day!

Good Morning Girls

It's a tropical heat wave...a tropical heat wave.... Ok sing, picture me in a grass skirt singing that tune! (Or maybe not... might ruin your day) We hit 100 here yesterday... doesn't happen often, but we did it yesterday... Looks like we are in a long heat wave ahead too... 90's for the next week plus! I can see my electric bill climbing!!!

Lois... sounds like we will be sweatin' together! You're so right... how fast the time has gone... Two weeks from today I'll be flying out to Montana to scoop up my kids! I think that's what keeps me awake at night.... figuring out where to put every body. I want to make things nice for the kids, so they can feel like this is home.

Suzette..... Do you ever see all the folks on FB that sell fabric? I've found a couple groups and have had pretty good luck. You get to know the folks that have the good stuff. Some folks are selling off their stashes, so you have to be careful... I've gotten WM fabric from time to time, but usually can find a use for it. One gal was selling jelly rolls for $15....!! that's pretty good deal!

Judi... Ah... home sweet home.... Your Sophie, kind of reminds me of my Evie... I just call her "Snarky" She is 14 so she has that "teenager" thing going on, sweet sweet kid.... but snarky! Hope you get lots of time to play with your machine today.... and she just purrssssss.

Becca... If you get tired of the rain.. .send some back here... I think we are going to need it! Thank you for the PM... My friend Michele was thinking (for about 5 minutes) about moving to NC... just trying to find a place in the US that's less expensive than CO and of course... Senior Friendly! I think they are going to stick with Arizona.

Sherry.... Rhubarb and watermelon.... all cut up and ready to go... .actually that sounds pretty good to me! I almost grabbed a watermelon when I was in WM the other day... Do you put salt on yours? That seems to be an ongoing question on Facebook. I do love a little salt!

Maryz..... I'm thinking you did learn the important stuff in sex-ed class! Two of the three bedrooms downstairs are cleaned. Had a little mishap with one of the bed frames (I broke it) so they will have to bring Evie's bed in, instead of putting it in storage. I was googling around yesterday and found a PERFECT town house for me... only 5 miles up the road from where I am now... but I have to slow-my-roll and wait and see what the kids decide to do.

Jana..... I'm thinking the moral of that story is to always have a picnic lunch in the car! Was the driver ok.... Maybe his traveling Angel was watching over him.

Tina.... Did I hear a rumor about Christmas Swap? All my fabric is in the garage, but I think I can put my hands on my Christmas stuff.... and there's no rules about having to buy some new fabric either right?

Time for more coffee..... haven't been sleeping so great at night, so took Tylenol PM last night and then slept late.. So now here it is almost noon and I haven't done anything. But it's Sunday so I'm not going to feel too bad.. Even God rested on the 7th day! So I'll just putts around with a few little things today and get back to the real work tomorrow. Am still tweeking things to make room for the kids..

So... with that... I wish you all a Super Sunday
and send prayers for all in need.

2 people were injured, in critical condition, but are expected to survive. The troopers are leaning to excess speed as the cause.
