Today was one of those days, had to be up for a zoom meeting with the state coordinator about QOV. That started at 10 am. Then after it was over, I got a few things done but came in here to work on genealogy again.
After lunch, I went downstairs to get a binding done for the quilt that Debbie dropped off yesterday. Once I had the binding ready, I worked on the pillowcases that I need to do for Thursday.
Four of the pillowcases ...
I've been working at getting Lisa's old block sets together. Three left now that these are done. I think.
These first two were actually meant to be one big one that she started over 25 years ago! Neither of us recalls the design she came up with. She pulled it out at some point to work on it and didn't like it. At that point she decided to sort the units and make 4 different sets of blocks. Threw away the paper with the first plan. Then they sat again. Last year she made a bit more ...

Good morning, my friends. It was a cloudy and cool day for our hike of the Hall of Mosses Trail. It was nice having it a little cooler for the humid environment, and the sun broke through a little in the afternoon. All-in-all, a good day of weather. The road to the trailhead was winding, and although it was only about 30 miles, it was about an hour-long drive.
After turning off onto Upper Hoh Road, we paralleled the Hoh River. We couldn’t see it most of the time, but we could occasionally catch a glimpse through a break ...

read moreI’m so happy I was able to get the borders of the quilt I’m making for my church’s fall festival auction. I really like the way it is turning out!
The border fabrics I ended up using are not what I had originally chosen. I purchased fabric specifically for the quilt, but once the center part was pieced, I didn’t like the way they looked.
The monarch stayed still long enough for several snapshots.

Thanks for the comments. Yes—I believe 100% that even though I am deleting, I may still need to do one more step to make Google recognize that I have deleted stuff. What is that step? I must investigate. And I have turned OFF photo backup on my phone. So that is NOT adding to the problem.
Life sure has an interesting way of bringing you down to your knees and making you face reality! I was out walking two of the dogs yesterday when my phone rang. It was not even 8 AM, and NO ONE calls me in ...

It was purple sewing with a difference this week. I've ben busy stitching myself another cowl neck top. Although it is Spring here, there are still chilly days hanging about so I'll get some wear out of it before the warm sunny days arrive. This purple/navy hounds-tooth knit fabric has been tucked away in a crate in the loft for longer than I can remember. The crates have now been brought down for me by my granddaughter who had no fear climbing the ladder, to see what they contained, must admit I had forgotten after all this ...
read moreI’m so embarrassed by this finish-not about the quilt…it’s beautiful. I’m embarrassed by how long it took me to finish it. Connie gave quilt tops to me about three years ago, and I’m finally getting to them- well, at least one of them. There were three…this is number one. She gave them to me so …

read moreThis morning, I had to be up early for the nurses to come to check on Patrick at 8 am. I found that I'm tired as I write this.
While they were here with him, I worked on my bookkeeping for the water. Then I took a walk and got my 7 laps in. Once that was over, I came in and worked on Patrick's family history. It's interesting that I can get so much information on the BANTA and HENDRICKSE families but not much on the WILTZIUS or KEOPPLER families. I will keep working on it ...

It’s been a bit since I’ve listened to an audiobook. When I was driving to Des Moines to see Wicked, I knew a book would be a great companion, so before I left, I made sure I had an audiobook downloaded. It was easy for me to pick Rage by Linda Castillo. I’ve loved her …
