Catching up - September

Double Nine Patch blocks that I sewed back in June 2018 are in the process of being sewn into  a large quilt top.  They are nine inch blocks and I don't know why I made so many - I guess it's like potato chips - you can't stop.  Anyway 121 blocks - 99 by 99".  A few more rows to finish.

When I was down in Wilmington - I sewed on these little "H" blocks.  When I got back home I wanted to see where I was with this.  54 x 54"

A Pinterest Block - 18"

And Cowboy Candy -

 A recipe I've seen allover You Tube. 

I haven't made pickled anything in a few years.

Kathy and I sampled last Sunday - HOT!!!!

That's it - caught up. 

 I truly do not know how vloggers manage to crank out videos every day or two.

I think I need a glass of liquid refreshment 

and now that they say it keeps alzheimer's at bay  - all the more reason. 

 Cheers!

Catching Up - August

 Most of my August sewing was concentrated on things for our craft booth  for our church's Community Day.  We had a successful day and lots of work and fun too.  

All the money we raised was dedicated to be turned back to good causes in our local community.  

I was fortunate to be able to attend my great niece's wedding  in Reno, NV  in late August.

We had a wonderful time there.  Lots of John's family that I hadn't seen in awhile.

In was held outside in the late afternoon, on the Elm Estate. Lots of parties and family fun.

John's sister, Joyce and I were escorted and seated as honored guests.

We spent lots of our unscheduled time hanging out at one of the pools at the Peppermill or

eating breakfast of ice cream on waffles (me)

crazy big Mexican-omelet  things (Vince)

or something kinda - healthy like avocado toast (Shelly)

Katie and Mark are married - and we are all so happy for them and wish them nothing but the best!
