It was five this morning before I finally got to sleep and it was about one when I got up which makes for a short day. Had to do a little grocery shopping so I went to Fox’s Pizza while I was out for a late lunch/early supper. On the way to Fox’s Pizza I [...]
Yesterday all the sections of the quilt were quilted and I sewed the borders on the outside edges and was ready to trim the batting even this morning. Everything was going fine until I got to the last section and realized that I had sewn the border on the wrong side. I had each strip [...]
All the sections of the quilt are quilted and the borders are on the four outside edges. I have even stitched around the edges of all the sections, which makes it easier to trim the batting. And when I go to pin sections together I do not have to think about getting the fabric and [...]
For some reason I just could not get anything done today. I did not feel sick but I seemed to be hungry all day and just so tired and sleepy even though I got eight hours sleep last night. Unfortunately I did not get one stitch sewed today. The only thing I did accomplish was [...]
I finally got around to doing some quilting. Have one-third of the quilt quilted and the batting trimmed even, ready to sew to the other two panels. With my eyesight, two panels are just about all I can do in one day. Back the 21st of May, a girl backed into my Toyota and broke [...]

The challenge for July was a table runner or placemat and I chose to make a table runner. I completed the runner yesterday while everyone was gone and I had the house to myself, which gave [...]
I now have a new car, well it is a 2006 but it is new to me and it is so clean inside that it looks brand new. Gilbert came by about eleven to get information that the car salesman needed such as Social Security number, Driver’s License number, address, and birthday. About noon the [...]
After I had six blocks of a twelve block strip sewn together I decided that it would be easier to just sew six together at a time and then put the two together. I was chain sewing and six were much easier to work with. I had to take time out from sewing to go [...]
I almost finished sewing all the squares into strips but I am so sleepy that I must go to bed. After all tomorrow is another day. Did not hear anything about the car today so the anticipation continues. Life is rather boring when all one does is sit and sew squares together.
