Hello out there! It is a windy day here -- temp about 81 deg F. We had a great church service -- one new family joined -- father, mother, and three children. ***After church Sweetie and I came home and I cooked some chicken for our lunch -- had green beans and zucchini (squash) and he ate rice. Then I had a couple of Clementines for my "dessert". ***Yesterday V and I planted some new flowers in the front bed -- impatiens. The slugs and snails love them so we will see if they survive! They were still looking good when I watered this afternoon. I'm sure their address will soon appear on the slug/snail web site, however, so we will have to start watching for slime trails! ***I've been cutting some 2-1/2 strips to make a strip quilt. There is a video on U-Tube, under "Jelly-Roll Races" that show what it will look like. It is a great way to use up lots of scraps and left-over pieces. It takes about 800 inches of strips to make one quilt-top so I have to cut lots and lots! ***Besides those strips I have the sashing cut for the "pineapple" block quilt (with flower appliques.) I used a friends "GO" cutter to cut the sashing. Made it fast. All the blocks are squared so I need to start sewing the sashing on. I have declared tomorrow a "sewing day!" The pineapple block quilt is supposed to be a group effort but after the squares were made by different ones, I find I am supposed to put it all together. sigh. ***Two friends and I went to a quilt show Friday -- it was a first quilt show for one of the friends. She was amazed at what she saw! We saw some really beautiful quilts -- sorry I didn't take my camera. I particularly liked one made as a memorial to a family that had 19 children. Around the quilt middle was a wide border of "pieced houses," each one separated from the next by an appliqued tree. Under each "house" the name of the child was embroidered -- from oldest to youngest. It was rather unique! ***Hope all of you have had a great week and weekend -- take care and drop a comment if you have time.
