Catchup - Oct 24th-Nov 1st

Oct 24th

I'm pooped!  That thunderstorm last night disturbed me and I'm still out of sorts today.  I've been achey for a few too many days lately too, I think I'm going to alternate walking days, even short daily walks aren't easy!  

So a lazy day cutting my pieces in splits sessions with relaxing between, for this weekend's quilting session.  Will be nice to sew together again!  Might have a new Christmas table topper for myself or maybe sell or gift it!

I like this rationale!

What an awesome idea!!!!! I see lots of kids excited when they find painted rocks in the park, so I hope this goes over well too. I'd put each into tiny baggies to separate paints from foods with maybe a short note of greeting and hoping they enjoy their rock as I did painting it??? 🎃🎨👌

Well I had tried a funky variation over the summer but since I'm a wash n go girl styling and curling daily just didn't happen. So thank you Adele for the back to fast n easy for me again!

The weight is gone!!!

Ohhhhh my the grey is sure showing up here!

Oct 29th

What a lovely day! Thank you Carolynn for hosting some of the Agriculture/Policy book group and a few extras! So great to see coworkers and retirees again! Then with Edna and Pat at Sylvia's for a special Christmas table topper sewing weekend. You'll see pictures tomorrow as Edna and I aren't finished. Sylvia and Pat simplified the last borders so finished their's off after supper. But I do have show and tell!!!  

Remember we were together in September at Cliff Lake for a quilting vacation? And Edna chose to use some of my denim pieces for a raggy cushion top? Well she showed us today her awesome finished cushion!!! Looks great on Sylvia's chair! Now us three want to make one too!!!!!

September at Cliff Lake.

Today at Sylvia's.

Well I've had a lovely weekend quilting with Sylvia, Pat and Edna on the same Christmas project! My sister and niece simplified their's by leaving off the piddly time consuming 4.5" corner stars. 

Sylvia's first one.

Pat's

Whereas Edna and I persevered in agony to the end and as we used my stash, we played with fabric placement more beforehand.

Edna's, full pattern, Grey's and blues.

Mine, full pattern.

Ohhh and Sylvia was so speedy, she made a second one besides helping her daughter and Edna too. 

Sylvia's second one.

I was pokey as I ventured out for a coworkers gathering thus falling behind but we stayed later this evening to finish them off.  I ❤️❤️❤️❤️ them all!!!
