I woke up at 0145 this morning and that was all she wrote for my night. Sigh. My head will be bobbing this evening in front of the TV for sure. I think our heat wave has broken. Hooray! We should only be about 80* today. We set a record for the PNW - 6 days above 90*. Not a big deal to most of you, but for here it was - well - record setting! We be heat wimps here.
Yesterday I finished up the 25 6" leaf blocks that make up the center of my quilt. I hope to get started sewing them together today. Then I have to make 88 4" Broken Dishes blocks and after that 36 more leaf blocks. It's kind of a medallion quilt, I guess. But I'm hoping my energy level picks up as our temps go down because there's more house chores to be done before my rascal siblings arrive in two weeks. I did get all the upstairs pictures and frames washed along with some baseboards and glass cabinet doors. Today - laundry, dusting, and a few other things. To be honest, they won't notice if I do these things or not, but I'm using them as impetus to get them done. Bill always says we should clean AFTER people leave, not before. lol! There is some merit to his logic, I suppose.
CAROL - you have a really busy but really fun week ahead of you! I looked up the class you are taking. It sounds intriguing! I love making pictures with fabric. Do you know yet what color wildflowers you will be making? I'll be looking to hear more about your class after you take it. Your cat doesn't sleep on your bed? I don't think I've ever had one of those kinds of cats. It's second nature to me now to never EVER lay clean clothes on the bed! lol!
VELDA - we all need a lazy day now and then.
LORI - you'll be having fun at the Quilt show, too! I've been to Houston twice. And Seattle used to have a big show that I went to, but no more. Then it moved to Tacoma and Bill and I both helped to set up, and later take down quilts there. That was HARD work! Better to do the white glove thing. Now that show is gone, too.
JANA - did you get your rain yet? Your basement is getting quite crowded. Any more people move in and you'll be setting up your machine on your deck! Your Halloween bench pillow sounds nice. I wouldn't mind making one, sans machine embroidery, but then I'd have to get a bench. So I will just enjoy yours and Lori's when they're done.
I will have to think about supper - maybe I'll just put some chicken in the crockpot with potatoes and carrots and onions and see what happens. I was thinking of grilling it, but this sounds better to me.
What sounds good to you?
waits until tonight. 
Vel
