Finally- a finish

  Finally finished my Autumn quilt. It was a BOM from HGTV. I used all stash except 1/2 yd. I bought and some of CBQ's scraps. CBQ  (my daughter) also quilted it for me and did a beautiful job   Garden is finally done so now I can do some serious sewing. Hope you all are finding time to sew and enjoy the beautiful fall colors. Mary

Hello

Can't believe its been a month since I have been on my blog. My SIL who had cancer passed away . She was in the hospital 2 weeks and I visited her everyday. We were good friends so I miss her very much.
  Have been working on many projects but no pictures. We ar doing a row robin in guild and can't show it until Sept. when I will get mine back. Also did 5 birthday blocks and am still hand quilting.
  Garden and flowers are doing great- just started getting tomatoes and cucumbers and zucchini. Have quite a few beans so am freezing some today. I love being outside so have to squeeze in my sewing. Our guild is making blocks for Heartstrings ( Charity ) so have to do some of those. I have 2 quilts and a row robin at my daughters getting machine quilted which I will show you when she brings them later.I will have lots to show in a few weeks. Take care and have a good summer.

Hello

 A hot evening in SD. Too warm to sit out on the patio. The AC feels good. Just picked a bouquet of peonies to bring in. They are so pretty this year. My garden looks good. Everything is growing nicely. had some spinach yesterday.

  Finally got 2 quilt tops and the backing mailed to CBQ to quilt for me. Am still working on my hand-quilted one and it will probably take all summer as I spend time outside  with the garden and lawn.


   Guess I'd better go watch  the basket ball finals. Mike Miller from the Miami Heat  is from here so he is a hometown boy. Chad Greenway from the Vikings is also from here. Happy sewing.

WOW almost a month

Almost a month since I have posted on my blog. I am hand-quilting a queen size quilt and am determined to finish it. I am also doing a row robin in our guild so have a row to do each month. Since the long arms came out no one hand quilts anymore so I can't get any help. This is going to be my quilt-am not giving it away.
  Also we have been getting lots of rain so our yard and garden keep us busy. Lots of mowing. My tomatoes are blooming so now need sunshine. We have been very lucky and missed all the terrible storms. It is a miracle that more haven't been killed in the tornados. My heart goes out to all who lost so much. Take care, Mary
