SUPPER CLUB - Saturday, April 30th
Posted: Sat Apr 30, 2022 7:51 am
Good morning,
Today is my younger sister's 70th birthday. I sent her a package a few weeks ago but other than a Michael's gift card, I can't remember what other little things I included. Such is life!
Yesterday was full to the brim. I made two quilt labels, attached one, washed two loads of sheets, remade bed in trailer, swept and mopped and got it ready to roll again first week of June. Then spent 2 hours cleaning the deck after weather and wildlife trashed it. We discussed putting the deck birdfeeder on a line on a pulley to stop the seed & poop mess and to also discourage the squirrels. The mess can just fall into the brush below. DH is on board with that plan and will do it ASAP as his chair is under the birdfeeder right now! lol!!
It's a rainy morning here. I'm wanting to do some yard work - but not today! So I will probably make some May lotto blocks and start pulling scraps for Buckeye Beauty.
BECCA - a happy day in your family. I'm sorry you couldn't attend the wedding, but glad you saw photos. How far away was the wedding? Did they have a ceremony with guests, et al, or an informal courthouse-type wedding? Do you know yet what Denise is bringing for dinner? About 12 yrs ago my son & wife brought a meatloaf dinner for Mother's Day. It was so good! I can still taste it!
JANA - Sarah will pick up the tractor in no time at all. Probably 3 minutes is all it will take. Sarah can do anything! I packed up our Easter stuff last week. Yesterday I pulled out my 2 "Americana" quilts. Memorial Day and July 4th will be here soon! But I do still have a few spring quilts out, too. I'm not much of a decorator except for Christmas.
LORI - we all say we're going to do/not do a lot of things in quilting, but we all also know, a shiny object can slow our roll and veer our path at any moment! lol! I don't envy you, though, having that many quilts to do on your regular machine. But I knew a woman once who had 52 tops and had no intention of ever quilting them. She just kept making tops. Last I heard she was starting a Dear Jane. And another spring wedding in our group! That makes 4 - all informal - all within about 3 weeks. Did you find a blouse to wear?
I plan to cook a meatloaf I made and froze a couple weeks ago. Baked potatoes and roasted veggies with a salad. Crossing fingers. For some reason I've lost my meatloaf touch. I used to make it years ago and it was OK. But no matter what recipe I follow, or don't follow, it's never very good anymore. This time I tried the milk-soaked bread thing y'all mentioned a few weeks ago, so we'll see . . . . .
What are YOU trying to make for supper?
