QoV into rows, tutorial on sage butter, fish quilt #2 done, Anne

Tuesday (10/30) was errand day….we hit the dentist first to finally get my permanent crown attached, got an adjustment at the chiro, hit ALDI’s for a few groceries, the bank and Lil’ Casear’s for PIZZA PIZZA  :~).  

We didn’t get home until 2 PM and Michael and Cookie went for a short walk.  It was just a beautiful day and all of the furry kids and Michael spent time on the lanair after that, soaking up the sun and warmth  :~).  I was in my studio, quilting away on fish quilt #2, and continuing to sew together a new QoV. 

I really pushed myself on the fish quilts because it never rains, but it pours!!!  I didn’t have any customer quilts, so loaded up the fish quilts….yesterday I took in one customer quilt…today when we got home from errands I had a message about another one on the phone…I came downstairs and had an email about 2 more!!!!  

Michael put out butter on the lanair in the sun for me so that I could eventually make my sage butter for the year....here's how:

start with softened butter

and lots of sage

chop up the sage and mix it into the butter

scoop out onto cookie sheet to flash freeze, then put in a zip lock bag

Michael left after 6 PM to pick up Larry to go and see LONDON”S FALLING, and by the time Anne came over to knit and solve the problems of the world  :~), I had finished the quilting on the second fish quilt: 

and got all of my QoV blocks sewn together into rows:

if you see any mistakes....call me now!!

The babies stayed in the living room with us:
