My honey had breakfast out on the lanair on Tuesday (10/22):
while BG and I headed once again, to my studio. BG spent a lot of the day ripping out on her one block
wonder:
She knew 2 of her pieces were too
big, so that took her most of the day, and now she just has one more 1/2 row to rip out on the right one:
She's making the OBW in 4 quadrants and then will border them before sewing together for a king size quilt.
I
spent that time quilting on my dragonflies and by dinnertime, was all
done:
Yes, true to ourselves, BG picked purple thread for her quilting and I picked teal :~).
We got to SKYPE a bit with Janice
in the afternoon….she is home from visiting Connecticut for a week, so we got a
bit caught up. And Barb D swung by to
check out my studio and pick up her quilt.
We finally got someone to put up a new porch light...another motion sensor light. Michael was running a little bit late after helping to do that, so I made him a smurfy grilled cheese sandwich for dinner:
BG also got binding cut for the 5 quilts she has at home to be
bound :~):
My bathroom is now sporting a new look....I have THE MOST BEAUTIFUL RUG IN THE WORLD to stand on:
BG made me a jelly roll rug out of the most perfect jelly roll colors :~).
We relaxed in the living room in the evening while Michael was at the movies, BG's faithful companion by her side (or maybe I should say by her neck??):

I felt like I ran Wednesday morning (10/23)
from the time I got up until the time I got home at dinnertime and
collapsed. BG and I left for the airport
at 7:30 AM. Yes….it was a little
bittersweet, but it seemed like a nice, long visit and we got done everything
we had hoped to (and more!!), so I can’t ask for more than that. Well….I can….but I won’t get it anyway :~).
don't I take the best selfies??? NOT!!! |
I
went straight from the airport to CVS to drop off a prescription, and then on
to the Lake House for my guess pass policy meeting. We had an excellent meeting and when it was
over I headed back to CVS to pick up my prescription and to get a flu
shot. When I got home, I called Pam and
Melanie and they came over to dig up a bunch of bulbs in our front garden that
I wanted to get rid of…and they wanted to plant….win, win!!
Janice - you'll be happy to know that our front garden looks SO MUCH BETTER!!!
I left while they were still there…heading to
the hairdressers to get my hair done and was finally home by 5:45 PM. I took a short nap on the lanair before
having a bite. I took in another customer
quilt after that and finally settled in for TV watching with my honey and got a gauge done on
AJ’s yarn.
Two extra pics for your viewing pleasure....Inez got some mini-donuts done in her mini-donut pan from King Arthur Flour. She said they were yummy.....they certainly look fabulous:
And BG forgot her gift this year at Fiber Floozies....so by now everyone has received their key chain.....STAMP OUT FAUX SEWING!!!
The new jelly roll rug is perfect!! I have to learn how to make one...you just can't get beautiful colors like that with manufactured ones.
