Hibiscus

Here is my hibiscus that decided to bloom again in the fall- it is so pretty.

Been missing in action again

Sorry I haven't been blogging- Our quilt show is over and was a success. So many pretty quilts but my camera wasn't working very well so can't show you many pictures. I have been busy getting organized for my trip to Branson for the COF retreat. Am leaving on Sunday so won't get back on the computer for about 2 weeks. Haven't had time for much quilting.

  We finally got some rain so my tomatoes are doing good again. My Dh will have to share them while I am gone. The shinglers for our house are coming on Mon.- don't feel bad that I won't be here to hear all the racket.

Finished early so I could have it finished before the COF retreat.

Guild Quilt Show

Our guild quilt show is next week-end so we have all been busy getting ready- thought I would show you a picture of our ad. It glares a little but you can still read it. Hope you are all having a good Labor Day week-end. We were going to the State Fair but decided its too darn hot.

I'm Baaack

  And really haven't been any place. Finished up the things I need to take to the COF retreat and started cleaning my sewing room. Not much headway but I can see the whole tabletop ( probably not for long.) I have a UFO by the sewing machine ready to be worked on.  I did a block exchange a couple years ago and decided to make placemats. I suppose I will find a few other surprises before I get finished cleaning : )
  Weather is hot again 102º today and more of the same for tomorrow. No rain in sight. Crops in this area are pretty well done for. Ethanol plants are shutting down because of the shortage of corn.
  Hope you all are having good sewing days. Back to cleaning. BB

August BOM

Finished my block of the month- haven't had much time for sewing as my garden is still producing and I am busy canning and freezing. Everyone thinks we will have a cold snowy winter since we had a hot dry summer. Hope they are wrong.
