Decision Thursday.

 Nothing different about the morning routine.  Same old, same old.  Crossword finished, Wordle finished, Oatmeal finished.  Everything was finished and because the quilt tops were finished it was time to think about the baby quilt finishing process and all that goes with that.  

              This is a picture from a couple of years ago.  Monarchs were slim to nothing last year.                                                                  I hope we see more this summer.  

When I checked JoAnn's online it seemed to suggest that there was a fleece sale!  I made a decision to go look and get enough fleece for two quilt tops.  My goodness, the three-day sale is a great one with more than half off the fleece price. The regular price is 14.99 a yard.  You know, I'd rather do without than pay that price.  It's ridiculous.  So instead of two tops, I got enough for all seven.  Saved a bunch of money but also spent a bunch even at more than half off.  Some babies are going to snuggle in beautiful blankets.  


I moved to the dining room table to cut fabric, pin fabric...then it was to the ironing board to iron fabric, the sewing machine to sew fabric, back to the ironing board and a few more steps nearing completion.  I worked on four quilts.  Three are totally finished with all the knotting completed.  Tomorrow I'll start all over again.  

                                                            What a fun fleece print. 

The process of putting quilts together is the same as the quilters at North Church use.  It's a tried and true one that works so why not use it. The Lydia Circle gave me a Feb. date for completion and I'm going to meet that date come hell or highwater.  I have baby bibs on my mind for the next project.  I have great scraps.  

 

The girls in the yard are happy about the weather.  They appear to have a little icing touch added to their appearance.  I'm thinking about adding a boyfriend to keep Tulip company.  Daisy is taking care of the backyard.  I might give her a shovel to help her earn her keep.  

                            I think they are going to hang around for a while. Makes me happy.

Kimmy did it again.  She guided me to the spot where now there is a change made in the blog settings  allowing comments.  If you had a google account you could do that already.  At least  that's what I think I'm reading.  So comment away when you want to.  Will be fun.                             I'm looking forward to a whole bunch of different zinnias this summer.   Finger report.  It's doing fine with a major clean up today. One reason for no butterfly but a small club is to pad the site.  Typing is improving.  The day brought more sewing with four more bags completed and one waiting for velcro which should arrive tomorrow via Amazon.  Another package of D rings should be included to finish up a few cover ups.  It's been a busy sewing season with some new challenges that keep the sewing room interesting.  I must dig through my...

Wed. I'm back Thanks be to God!

This time I hope I'm back for a very long time.  The computer with pictures is finally a go and all the excitement of Sunday is over.   I don't know if I've recovered yet.  There are a few more days before the next Sunday.   For those few who don't know it was another hospital stay of a couple of days.  And it all started in the pew at church with a pass out  seizure type of thing. I think something to do with high sugar perhaps.  The whole service came to a halt for a while.  How embarrassing with a carry out by the good old EMTS.   Lots of tests I guess.  I don't remember a thing until Sunday evening with a trip into a scan machine.  I got released Tuesday and today I visited my primary care doctor for answers and I'm pretty well satisfied.  Two days in bed have really made me wobbly so I'm pretty careful about moving around.  It should get better soon.  I won't be driving for a while because of the s...

Saturday.

 Today was the every other Saturday for Soup Kitchen work at church.  But before that I was up at 6 with breakfast and a little sewing time.  By 8 I was on my way to church to be at the door when Tosha would be arriving.  Sarah Ellen is in Italy for the week.  One person short makes a whole lot of difference when the soup kitchen crew is at it's usually small size.  Jack arrived earlier than usual so that was a big help and the new Cindy crew of two more folks made work time even easier.  Sometimes I feel like it's a guess who is coming to work now added to the guess who is coming to lunch.  The crowd wasn't as large as usual.  We just never know.  I say it's a crap shot not to be figured out!                                                I hope to have a lot of these orange cosmos this summer....
