Let the fun begin!

 I am settling into summer. My mom's house is sold and we are relieved it will be with new owners this coming week.

I went on a mini vacation....well I visited my daughter and helped do renos at her house. At first sight it doesn't look like I did much but lots was accomplished.

panel quilt top completed

my winnings from guild

This week guild also finished for the summer and we had lots of fun and I even won a prize. A member brought in a yoyo quilt and I guessed closest to the right number of yoyos in the quilt. I finished this quilt top from a panel class we had a guild this year. I made it bigger so I could finish it for a charity quilt. It will get finished at a later date.

I had to do a little catching up with my friend
Kathy and her blog. I have been working in the yard and garden. The plants are growing but so too are the weeds. I spent a couple hours out there this morning ridding the garden of the little devils. This gives me the rest of the day to sit and sew. I am working on my never ending small blocks that you can read about here! My slow stitching will happen later this afternoon when the Nascar race starts. I have a pair of socks that need finishing for the end of the month and I only have one sock completed so far!!

Enjoy your day and putting needle and thread to fabric...or knitting whatever slow stitching relaxes you today!

Making hay while the sun shines!

new mower

Joining in late with Kathy and all the slow stitching girls! Yesterday was such a beautiful day I couldn't not work outside. Lawn was cut with the new lawn mower, bigger mower less time!! And as my friend Louise does...it has a name...meet Pumpkin! While I was waiting for the grass to dry from overnight, I weeded out my raspberry patch. I am almost caught up on the gardening scene. Today we are expecting lots of rain so it is a good thing I did that work yesterday! So I will be having a slow stitching Monday! Cheating maybe but I am getting this post in just under the wire!

This also happened this week. So I have one less worry on my plate these days. My sister and I have been working to clean, purge and get our mother's house ready for sale for the past 7 months. It is great to know a new family will be calling it home.

Today will be cleaning up a couple tables in my sewing room. Every now and again it must be done and stuff put away that is no longer needed. Then I will settle down to some serious sewing. Still working on these little blocks. They are 5 inch finished and I need 97 of one and 98 of the other. I have lots to make. It is a pattern by The Rabbit Factory called "When this you see".

Hope you enjoy your Monday and whatever you get into!
