I
slept like a LOG Friday night and when I got up Saturday morning (8/25) I felt
like I finally had some energy back, so while Michael was at the grocery store,
I baked a bunch of cookies:
We wanted to
do 2 cookies ‘boxes’ for 2 houses of people who have just moved into SCCL, so
once they cooled I wrapped them up (don’t these boxes look much better than the
last one? I measured and drew lines this
time so they didn’t come out all catty-wampus!):
and headed off to hand them
out, while also delivering fabric to Pat S.
I only scored 1 house out of 3 (for fabric), but when I stopped on the
way home, Marty & Ken pulled into the driveway as I was leaving…SCORE!
Michael was out walking the dog and doing his
lines and didn’t get home again until 11 AM.
I headed straight downstairs to get bobbins wound and start up my
quilting. Within minutes my machine
messed up, and it was an hour of ripping before I could start again :~(.
While that was happening I got the 4 corner blocks cut for the quilt on
the design wall:
and also got 4 more cut for the new one I’m doing as my new
Thursday quilting project. I had company
in the afternoon while Michael ran his emails….my blanket always looks like
this downstairs (folded over the back of the sofa):
This is what it looks like after I have
company:
Cookie considers it her own personal pillow and drags it down and scrunches it around until it is just perfect :~). I finished up quilting by dinnertime:
delivered the second set of cookies, and made ghee for Michael
(he wanted to try something new with his popcorn). We had a SHARKNADO marathon, watching #5 & #6 with popcorn and champagne (look at the color of the champagne with frozen
blueberries/raspberries/blackberries to keep it cold):
Those have to be the silliest movies
ever :~).
I know I haven't shown you what I bought at FOUST yet, so it may as well come in dribs and drabs. How could I resist these:
Hi there! I love the quilt with the blue, red, and white squares! Are those American Flags in the middle? brian.groves@cox.net says hello to you and Mike :-) I'd love some of those cookies!
