Today is a day I've been dreading for the past month.  Our wonderful cleaning lady is "retiring" to care for her elderly mom, and we're really going to miss her.

She has taken such good care of us for more than a decade.  I'm gifting a quilt to her as a thank you.  She came every 2 weeks for 2 hours, doing the things I'm finding it harder to do.  I'm hoping she feels appreciated for her hard work.

I got 2/3 of a long side of binding hand sewn.  If I keep up this pace I'll get it done this month.

 DH finally has a date with his surgeon for a new hip. You would think a man that can barely walk and needs help with shoes and socks would be a bit compromised, but I am married to a different breed. Besides, thinking he needs to get the fence project done asap, he is concerned about a hunt he has coming up in January. He drew an Oryx tag and it's a once in a lifetime draw, meaning

We had a nice day last weekend, and we made the best of it. It was time to finish up the last of the lawn work for the season. I was on duty to pull up the impatiens around the house. I can do some of these tasks myself, but Rick is a stickler about …

"A Dark and Stormy Night".   That is often the opening line to some novels, and it certainly was true here last night.  The wind was blowing and seemed to be finding it's way into the garage, rattling the interior door.  Rattle, rattle, rattle as I lay in my bed, hoping it wasn't a burglar trying to creep inside.  The rain was falling, and the wind chimes, hung from the eaves just outside my bedroom window,  were ding donging in the wind.  I couldn't settle so got up at 4.00am, made myself a cup of tea, and ...

This morning, I had things to do and left early. I had to stop at Colleen's to drop off her dish and towel. Then I headed to DB to get my tea. Next stop was the bank. Finally, I was off to Georgie's. 

Bonnie and Sandy came after I did. We had such a good time. Laughing about all kinds of things. We also talked about Bev who passed away about 3 years ago. Found out her husband passed away about 5 weeks ago. Sandy was saying her 4 children were looking for the will. Sandy helped them ...

 Finished and ready for donation, the fabric is called Fairy Frost by Michael Miller. It looks like it has sparkly threads but it’s not scratchy. It was a jelly roll.  I have the last two sandwiched and ready to quilt. I may hit my goal by the end of the month.

I’m watching a webcam of a cheetah and her 5 babes, part of the Smithsonian program. They have such cute faces! Which you can’t see here, but do look for the webcam

We had another Grandma Day… Things have gotten a little confusing for the grandkids. When Lilly was here last, she asked Rick if he was her Grandpa now. Eli and Emmett have both asked the same thing. Rick has been awesome about it. He’s told the kids that Grandpa Roger is their grandpa, but since …

We love Hawaiian Quilts.  So I made these small quilts and framed them.  It was quite fun.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and here is my response. 

Pinktober!

This is the largest improv-pieced quilt, I have ever made. I don't think I will ever do it again because I could not see the whole composition at once, until after it was quilted. 

Made entirely of pink (peach, coral and some fuchsia) scraps combined with low volume/white fabrics, I have named her Rosy Pussytoes, after the pretty pink flowers.

Pink & Peach

Happy Halloween!

While the working title was F*** the Blues, which resembled my mood when I started rage sewing the scraps, the finished product ...
