Projects in progress....

 Snowman table topper for the winter season..

Fall hot mats and 'summer' themed mini wall hanging...pattern from Pearl Louise.  Got the entire season selections...winter and spring...to do...kinda cute...same cottage and tree in different seasons. Need to get the hanger put up somewhere. I found one that you can hang permanently, then change the little quilts as the seasons change...without taking the hanger itself off the wall.

Fall table runner....in progress. Need to finish binding....pinned to the "project" wall....!

Irene! Oh, Good Night, Irene!!

Huge hurricane aiming at the East Coast. Worried about my kids....grown ups as well as the grandkids...and friends and family.   Praying all goes well. Sean and Adriene had vacation on the Outer Banks and had to evacuate. What a bummer!!!

Had Cheyenne here for 5 days and was good to have her and do stuff with her...went fishing. Went wading in the river up in Eleven Mile Canyon...always...did Pike's Peak and for the first time saw Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep up there....she is our good luck charm....!  Saw them out by Garden of the Gods, too, near Glen Eyrie. Awesome.

Workin' on sewing and small quilting projects.  Hot mats, wall hangings, table runners. May try to sell on line.

Been hotter than normal here, but we do get rain every afternoon....so that is a blessing. Poor Texans are just baking and suffering unimaginable heat and drought.  God love 'em.

Air Force Football season starting soon.  Tailgaters are meeting to do menu planning for the tailgate gatherings before the games.  Should be fun.

Skip and I are trying acupuncture for our "old folks" aches and pains...shoulders, neck, knees, etc. So far, so good. Thought I'd freak out. No one on the planet is as needle-phobic as I am...but it's painless....we'll see how long we hang in there and have results.

Blessings for the day...

Monday...again??!!

Spent a lovely four days in WY camping.  Lovely breezes, clear skies.  Great time putzing around Cheyenne. Hope to go to the Bridger-Teton area sometime!!!

Visited a quilt shop in Cheyenne (imagine that?!) and found a hanger for my most recent project...mini wall quilt...and their shop had so many wonderful things! Like looking at a Fons and Porter magazine, only being able to touch and feel all the "stuff" that is in the magazine.  They do a great job of displaying and offering things!!!

Lots of sadness in our friends' lives...their son, Chris, passed away and two days later, the father's brother committed suicide..so the family has TWO funerals this week. Dear Lord. Hold them close in Your almighty arms.  They need Your strength!

Blessings for the day

Bargello Quilt?
