Weekend Work

Cut strip for a new quilt top

Strips pieced together. There will be a three inch boarder.

I also started piecing together the plus quilt that has been on the wall for a month.  After piecing together the squares across, piecing the rows together became and issue so I started on what is covering it.

Most exciting was that I SOLD this quilt that I made last year.

The buyer really likes my work and has already placed an order for 2 twin sized quilts for his grandchildren.

Post That Was Left Behind.

On one of our hot summer days around 5:30pm was the day the lights went out in Atlanta. At least in my neighborhood. No air condition, no fans, no lights, no nothing.  Even though it did not get dark until 9:30 it was still very dark in the house because of the rain and clouds.  Power did not return until around 9:45pm.

This year we have cut TV and video games to only on the weekends, so this was not a huge inconvenience. As a family we have been spending more time eating together as a family and talking more. So on this day that is exactly what we did and we had a ball. My husband and I attempted to show the boys how to play gin rummy. We laughed and joked about whatever came to mind and even did some impromptu singing.

When the lights did come back on, we had not missed anything.

Just a reminder that quality family time is supreme.
