SUPPER CLUB - MOTHERS DAY, May 8th
Posted: Sun May 08, 2016 3:32 am
Good Morning and Happy Mother's Day to you all!
We had such beautiful weather yesterday that I almost felt guilty staying inside with "Stitch", my Bernina. But the two of us got a lot accomplished and I hope to keep my momentum going today. I finished my Woven Ribbons quilt - 104" square. It's so big I don't have a place to lay it to take a photo! One day I will sit down and try to win the battle with Photobucket and post some pictures. I also finished a postage stamp scrappy quilt that has been in the making for almost a year. I cut my tiny scraps into 1-1/2" squares and use them as jump scraps when I'm piecing. I sew them together in strips of 12 and then 12 strips to make one 12" block. And sew on . . . and yesterday I had enough together to call it a quilt! All from fabric - and thread - that would have been tossed out by a sane person. After that I went back to my Seahawk quilt and got a lot done there. If nothing interrupts me, I should have it finished in a day or two as well. Then it's on to a baby quilt and then a wedding quilt. And DH is working hard, quilting a PFTH quilt for Chriss's aunt. It's turning out beautifully! He really had some great ideas that are making the blocks pop!
IRISH - what a nice surprise from Kathy & Tim! Tasty! that might tempt Jim! And I bet that was scary when his wound started to bleed. There are bandages, meant for burns, that are infused with Vaseline, but sounds like you devised your own. You have been busy getting ready for this morning, but that's the beauty of company - You get the house cleaned up, you enjoy the company, and when they leave, your house is still clean! I'm still coasting on the cleaning frenzy we had here for Mary Q and Sue. Special Mother's Day hug to you. I know you feel the empty spot in your hugging arm, but he's there, hugging you back! I know he is.
BECCA - what a nice day you had yesterday! And for your DH, too, being able to visit with friends. Your DD is going to be so busy - moving, new DGB, and trying to keep up with you! But it's a happy busy!
VELDA - Hi! Welcome to the table! I saw that we posted almost simultaneously. I usually have two tabs open and I checked to make sure no one has posted, then went back to the other tab, hit send, and you still beat me by a few seconds! lol! They all worked it out. So tell us, how do "Bubba Burgers" vary from regular burgers?
CAROL - how many days until your retirement? Izzy and Lori are also counting down the days to their retirement. What's the first thing you are going to do? It sounds strange, but almost everyone I know ended up cleaning out all their cupboards and closets and cubbies! But WE took a four-month trip around the country in our fifth-wheel. And THEN I cleaned out the closets!
TINA - how were your folks yesterday when you visited? and how are you feeling?
well, I am off to shower and get ready to go for breakfast out with DB, Jim & Terry. When Mary Q and Sue were here we had a campfire and then BBQ'd burgers. Jim & Terry came over for that and got to meet the girls. It was like one big happy family!
Happy Mother's day to you all!!
