And by slowly stitching...I am speaking about my speed. Most everything has slowed down this week especially me. I somehow managed to catch a whopping head cold that has knocked me on my butt. Heavy sweater and some time sitting under a quilt hand qulting has passed the time. But I am done with it...it can leave now! I have places to be and people to see.
Our area is hosting a quilt show this coming weekend Sept 10-11 in North Bay. "Quilts by the Bay" is held every three years. Although it is put on by many guild members, the show itself is not sponsored by any guilds and you don't have to be a guild member to show your quilts.

But before that happens for me, I have a family friend getting married out of town and we wouldn't miss it. Her sister was married earlier this summer and now it is her turn. It has been a busy summer for this family. The bride's aunt and I have been asked to be the unofficial wedding coordinators for the afternoon ...very exciting (although I am sure everything is taken care of). This all leads me to my quandary....I made the happy couple a quilt and really wavered on washing it. It needed to be washed to rid it of pencil marks but with all the red and plain white...I was afraid of bleeding. Enter two colour catchers and they did their jobs well. I will show the colour catchers but the quilt will have to wait one more week! Don't want to give everything away.

Beans,peppers, tomatoes and zucchinis

The weather here is turning cooler and as some things in the garden are just about done, others are just starting. Cucumbers and zucchinis are starting to produce now but beans and peas are almost done for the season. Around this area it is called "lock your doors season"...if you don't, you may find zucchinis have come to visit!!
So today I will be slow stitching along with
Kathy, thinking healthy thoughts and kicking this cold to the curb. Might even go outside to soak up some rays and mow the lawn. Enjoy your long weekend...last of the summer and the beginning of Fall.
Summer colds are the worst kind! Hope you feel better soon. Have fun stitching. Those colour catchers are miracle workers!
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon so you can enjoy all your activities. Hand quilting is a good fix for feeling lousy.
