Good luck with the he machine, Kitty-Sept. would be to hot for a quilt anyways, right?!? hmm it can be frustraing to want to accomplish something and then have it get put off-keep your head up
The quilt is for her high school graduation! She starts 4k Sept. 1st. :gig Your new enough you don't know the story but, it's like this, I decided last fall to start on Kute Kitten's graduation quilt. She was in 4th grade so I had 8 years to make it. Never having done a quilt before and not being much of a sewer, I thought that if I wanted to follow in Grandma's footsteps in making the girls each a quilt for their high school graduation, I had better get started. I finished Kute Kittens, did 2 baby quilts, and a lap quilt as well as complete the squares for Peanut's quilt. :lol: You can see pics in the What are you making thread. As well as other things others and I have made. :)

We went over to worked on the deck and ramp for BIL today. They didn't get it done-ran out of lumber. I figured on helping build but, more showed up than expected so I visited and then helped make and cleanup lunch.

good morning everyone,
I'm going to check that out right after I chat first. I login on yesterday . But the time I finish I had to go do something. Seem like everyone is busy. That's good. I quess if the mind is busy, no time to worry. I haven't done much with the kiddys. They go home today right after mSunday dinner. :celebrate I love them to death, But they almost were the death of me. I was talking to my Bill(hubby) ask why don't I have the energy to do this. He said 1 your 51, your trying to care of your funny farm, you have 6 cages of baby chicks that are sick now, taking care of dogs and cats, taking care of me, keeping house, making meals,keeping up with the garden, So lets add 2 yr and 3 1/2 kid for 3 weeks to boot. What do you get! Crazy Grandma :ep Ok that's my whinng :barnie Anyway Framer kitty, that's wonderful what your doing. I did a quilt once and I'll never do again. I did a yoyo guilt for my MIL and Aunt out of Granny clothes after she passed away. They both loved them, But I found it wasn't my cup of tea. I think I'll just stay with sewing and cocheting. I have picked up about 6 patterns at the thirty stores for a dime and quater still not even used. All county style patterns. I really do think my mind has gone. I was happy with the wedding dress I made for my daughter. So I thought I'd try again. Well I better go check out the rest of the posting. I belive I talked everyone ears off. :duc Hope everyone is off to go great day!!! :frow :frow

Good Morning,

Slow start this morning. We decided to sleep in a little. :) We'll be heading out to work on the ramp for BIL after the nephew picks up the rest of the wood but, I guess that won't be until mid day.

Still wont let me attach a picture?

Quilts are a beautiful keepsake! I have a very old hand made quilt that has everyone [family] that quilted it names in their square, it has to be over 100 yrs old now. When mom passed I found quilt squares [?] that were from my great granny and grandma.

Ran out of paint yesterday, still have a portion of the back patio of the house to do, then start the chicken hilton and storage barn. If I can get out of my own way I'll start the trim.

Hope everyone has a great day, waving hello.....

:barnie It's that time of the year again, deer camera went out last night. DH is to cheap to spend money on a really good one but, expects his cheap one to do the same job. He just brought the card in and there was a pic of a nice sized buck but, he was further out, almost out of the camera's night time range. Of course, the pic was dark. Even with lightening it up DH wasn't happy with the printed copy. What does he expect?

On the bright side, I have figured out the sewing machine and I'm back to sewing. I made my poncho this morning (pics later as camera is out in the truck) and I've put together a few squares of Peanut's quilt! :weee

It's scary here this morning...they got severe thunderstorm warnings around here, and it's probably going to continue all day.

Anyway, I got a couple weeks off from work this August, so now I gotta find stuff to do.

But the storms...:(

Wow, WRB, those look like some very scary conditions. Stay safe inside!

I don't know where the time ran off to this a.m. I got up at a decent time (7:00, actually late for me), must have idled away the entire morning. Watered my chickens and fed the garage chicks at 11:00, then proceeded to give Annabel her first bath in the backyard sun with the garden hose in preparation for the fair in a couple of days! She did really, really well, although didn't really like the hose water on her head. I used Dawn dish soap for her coat, dossan and switch and then followed with some Mane & Tail conditioner on her dossan and switch, which I rinced out (but read after the fact that only HUMANS are supposed to have it rinced out, not animals! Ooops.). T-Bone still needs his bath, but I'm going to wait until DH gets home from fishing tonight to try that...I'll need his help.

Now, off to shower and run some last minute show-prep errands! Have a great day, everyone!
