Quilt Making Is Going Great

June 19th, 2009

I did not get as much done yesterday as I had planned because for some reason I was extremely tired in the afternoon and just did not have enough energy to sew.   I have had a night of ten hours sleep and I am raring to go today.  I sewed this morning right after getting [...]

Work Is Progressing

June 18th, 2009

The quilt is coming right along.  I was somewhat concerned as to how I would get the patches attached to the background so that I could sew them on without them slipping.  I cut squares of Wonder Under and fused to the back of the patches and then fused them to the background the same [...]

Middle Of The Week

June 17th, 2009

Here it is the middle of the week and still no Internet connection.  Brian contacted the company yesterday and our usage is still at one hundred and one percent.  Maybe in a few more days it will go down enough that we can at least get our email.  This morning I remembered that not only [...]

Another Problem With My House

June 16th, 2009

Tonight I am having dinner with Ashley and my surrogate grandsons and really looking forward to that for it will be a nice break from all the sewing.  When I got started this morning I realized that I did not have any denim needles so had to make a trip to the fabric store here [...]

Off To A Good Start

June 15th, 2009

This morning I was up and dressed by eight thirty, which is good,  and I hope that I can continue for the rest of the week at least.  Earlier when I was up to take my blood pressure pill, I turned on the AC in my studio so that when I got up ready to [...]

June Is ‘Bustin’ Out All Over

June 14th, 2009

It is June and the crepe myrtle is blooming out like crazy.  In another couple of weeks the countryside will be awash with blooms of all shades of pink with some purple and white every so often.   Some of the crepe myrtles are so old that they are fairly large trees and then there are [...]

Saturday And It’s Hot

June 13th, 2009

The AC repair guy did not get to my AC yesterday so we are spending a hot weekend.   I escaped to the library to study the Sunday school lesson and Discipleship Training lesson.  When I finally go back home this evening I am going to put the two quilts back up to cover the openings [...]

Trouble Comes In Twos

June 12th, 2009

When I got home yesterday from church, Christy told me that the Internet was not working.  She had talked with Brian and he found out that we were over our allowed usage so no Internet for a while.  He said she had been watching YouTube too much but I told him that I was the [...]

One More Day

June 10th, 2009

Just one more day to take photos and my knees are certainly grateful for that.  I really need to be there around eight thirty tomorrow morning so that I can be sure to catch all the groups in their classrooms and can get group pictures.  I think I caught about two-thirds of them today in [...]

I Can’t Believe I Did It Again

June 9th, 2009

Took pictures again today for about an hour and then I left church and drove to Wal-Mart to get batteries.  At home I always use an adapter when I take pictures but that is not possible at church so I want to have a supply of batteries in my camera case.  I did not have [...]
