Today will be low 80's. Sure wouldn't want to be here in the summer!
Yesterday I had lots of sewing time so I got my Mary block finished and also Joseph. Both are 7x23". Lori is right - this will be a big quilt. I also cut out the donkey because I have good donkey fabric with me. I hope I can get him finished today, too. This quilt isn't quite so scary as it appeared at first glance. Directions came in ruler package and IF I pay attention and follow the directions, all goes smoothly, if slowly. But you know, sometimes that's a big "IF".
We have another couple of friends rolling in today. We all met, camping, 10 years ago. It's always a good time getting back together for a few weeks. We'll probably be hitting the road again, heading for home, around Jan 16-19. No firm date set yet. We should arrive home about Feb 1-ish and a few things in our yard will starting coming into bud soon after that!! Spring!! It can't be far away now!
TINA, I've heard so many folks who have had front load washers and they die after only 5 years, or less. Frankie can always take the barrel out of it and use it for an outdoor fire pit! lol! Kittens in the Christmas tree - what a show! That happened to my younger sister once, about 45 years ago. she had family over and when family left, her kittens went with the guests. She called them door prizes!
JANA - nice of you to help your friend with her quilt. Bill saves some things, too. Mostly electrical and electronic, but for some reason, he kept big speakers that my LDH#2 had from when he was 18/19 and in a band (he even cut a record!). Not sure why Bill held on to those speakers for 28 years, but I finally convinced him to let them go. They took up so much room in garage! lol! Glad you figured out your tote problem.
BECCA - this special ruler cost about $25 and directions did come with it. It's about 6"x10" and it has a curved cutting slot in it. And lots of lines and dots to line up your cuts to the specific piece you are cutting. I have to really pay attention and as long as I do, all goes well.
VELDA - we did enjoy the dancing, and there will be more dancing events, but we are no longer late night folks. Nor do we do crowds, so we probably won't be doing a lot more dancing. This last event was 2-4pm and only about 60 folks in a room for 300. We felt safe.
CAROL - I agree - you can't fix stupid!! In tardy honor of spaghetti day, we'll be having that tonite.
So, happy supper, y'all!
