We have drizzle for a few hours this morning but will go back to just cloudy soon. Cooler temps coming next week with slight chance of snow on Wed. I could go for a few inches of snow!
Yesterday I got my North Stars quilt top all put together. Whew! That didn't take long, did it. Only about 2 months.
I'll post a picture soon. I got most of my mess cleaned up. I will finish that today, do a few more house uglies, and maybe quilt a small quilt if we get it loaded this morning.BECCA - congratulations on the pending sale of your house. But I'm sure it's bittersweet for you. A lot of good years in that home, but here's to a lot of good years in your new home! God bless!
CAROL - well, I can still hope you bring home 8 ribbons!
Is your DH a vegetarian or did he just happen to get veggie lasagna? I'm not a vegetarian but I'm not a big meat eater either and I do like a lot of vegetarian dishes. Especially during Lent.VELDA - I'm not sure what your quilter was meaning but, on the advice of a professional quilter, we always baste a scrap border on the side edges and bottom edge of our quilt tops. This gives a place for the side clamps that hold the quilt firmly in place and also for practice stitching while we make any adjustments to tensions, stitch length, etc. And it allows us to quilt all the way to the edges. Otherwise the clamps are in the way. Being basted, they aren't hard to remove later. But Pro Tip: if your borders (or quilt top if you don't use borders) have a lot of seams at the edge, top stitch all the way around the quilt 1/8" from edge before adding scrap borders or before quilting to keep your seams secure. For scrap borders I use old sheets cut into 3 or 4 inch strips. And I reuse them.
We were going to have pasta last night, but got called to the hospital for a friend about 4pm and didn't get home until after 7:30. We were tired and not so hungry so we just ate the salads that I'd fixed before we left. Tonite we're going to our local "Supper Club" for dinner. We are four couples who get together for supper about every 2 months and we take turns hosting. Host makes main dish and the other three bring appetizers, salads, dessert. The other 3 wives are in Bill's class at the "Y" which is how we've all gotten to know each other. It just happens that we are all Catholic and have lots of old Catholic school stories to share. Lots of laughing!
Anyhoo, I'm taking a salad tonite. All the other wives are EXCELLENT cooks so I always cross my fingers when I share my food because I'm not quite at the same level.
Have you got your menu squared away for tonite?
