SUPPER CLUB - Saturday, Oct 10th
Posted: Sat Oct 10, 2020 6:06 am
Good morning!
We've got rain and some wind! Not like poor Louisiana, but it's still an impressive storm (for us) and will leave some folks without power. We woke up early (thank you Scottie and Foxy!
) and DH and I are out on the deck, sharing the swing, and listening to it rain. It's still dark but we have our twinkle lights on. 56* but actually feels warmer.
Yesterday we planted a gooseberry bush my friend gave me out of her yard. I hope it survives. I didn't realize they have BIG stickers! And it was a BIG bush! Gooseberry pie was my dad's favorite. I'd never seen a bush before but always bought the canned berries. I also got 72 of the 168 little flying geese made that I need for the fancy sashing I'm doing on my 30-block UGRR. I'm loving how it's turning out though it's time consuming. But I'm in my happy place so no rush! Today will be so wet that I'm sure it will be another sewing day. And maybe a few inside chores, too. Clean the laundry room perhaps? And even do a load of clothes while I'm in there? Really, my laundry "room" is sort of a nook shut off from the family room by folding louvered doors. I wouldn't want more because then I'd have more to clean!
CAROL (without an 'e'), your guild seems big to me, though I know Cindy's guild is like 700. I guess I belong to a very select guild of just 1!
I don't personally know of a single other local person who quilts. It will be nice to have your house all freshly painted! What color are you doing it?
JANA - yay for Minnie! Now how long will it take you to make those blocks?
BECCA - I, too, put off many spring appts because of Covid - dental, eye, mammo. But eventually I got them all caught up this past summer. But kind of a pain . . . A peck of apples? Is that like a bushel? I used to know, but I've forgotten my measurements!
I texted Chickie yesterday. She is having carpal tunnel issues and had to go for medical tests to confirm diagnosis. She may need surgery, but she says not until she finishes her Christmas sewing! And she's deep into that, making 3 Hungry Hungry Caterpillar quilts for the 3 new babies in their family.
Tonite's supper here is going to be chicken and veggie stirfry with rice. Bill is already drooling. It's one of his favorites.
I hope the thought of your supper is making you drool!
