I keep forgetting to put this statistic in
the blog….so while I’m finally remembering, here it is: I think I mentioned that my suitcase weighed
49 pounds on the way to Connecticut….well, on the way home it weighed
TWELVE!!! And that included 3 – 4 yards
of fabric from BG (she’s hoping to hire Pat W to do a bag) and 1/2 of a
suitcase full of batting :~).
And, I just wanted to include this cute
show and tell picture from Thursday quilting:
I love this little quilt...all of the straps on the flip flops are 3-D!
Anyway, Michael left before 7
AM for golf here at SCCL on Saturday (8/27) and after a quick trip to the
grocery store, I headed to the studio to continue quilting. Leila (from Connecticut) is letting me borrow
her YELLOW BRICK ROAD pattern…which I understand is a really easy pattern. So, while Miss Scarlett was handling the
quilting, I was going through Ginny’s fabric once again to find 4 red fat quarters,
4 cream fat quarters and 4 blue fat quarters.
Well – it just goes to show you that easy for some is hard for others…I
cut the first 4 fat quarters all wrong
:~(. So, on the hunt for more fat
quarters !
I love the quilting I am
doing on the leftovers quilt. With the
outside border looking like this:
I
thought my “breeze” stitch would be perfect:

I finished the quilt around 3 PM and headed upstairs to get ready for
our party. I made roll dough for eventual use in ham/cheese roll ups with that poppy seed sauce:

| making ham/cheese roll-ups, they were yummy! |
I told my friend Jim that I
would throw a victory party for him when he was elected to our HOA board….so
that was Saturday night. I got a list of
people he wanted to invite and sent out invitations. Unfortunately, most of the people were out of
town…but we had a good time with the ones who came:
 |
| Evelyn & Pat |
 |
| Pat & Dan, Phil |
 |
| Anne, Jim, Susan |
And the food was good as well:
 |
| yummy desserts! |
 |
| deviled eggs, chicken bites, and the ham/cheese roll-ups |
Not everyone got to join the party right away:
Everyone left by 9:30 and we both sat and
read for a bit before heading to bed.
