YESTERDAY, TODAY, and TOMORROW

 

YESTERDAY:

 dawned beautifully;

got up to the mid 70's

SO

it was warm enough to sit out here

on our back deck shaded under 

our awning

(after our field walk )

and have our

coffee...

💘👫

I brought out my little 

Vera Bradley pouch 

and my current book to

spend my morning with...

I mean you HAVE to enjoy these

days when they dawn, don't you?

Zipped it open to my hand

quilting supplies --

love all those little pockets that

zip shut!!

and

Picked out my thread...for the petals

of my Little Quiltlet"

"August Zinnia"

↧↧↧↧

I finished working the spokes with an 

old DMC palest of blues 

and then--

began

the fun part...

😄😇

Working on the petals ....

What fun to sit out and stitch...

😍😎

AAAAH--

how relaxing...

**********************************************

TODAY:

We awakened to a much cooler

 56 degrees, 

heavy rains,

and fog....

So, I decided to finally look for the

border fabric for my

"Flowering Snowball" piece...

I liked an indigo Japanese style 

fabric that I thought would

set off all those little squares..

And I also found 

(surprise, surprise) 

that it had turned out MUCH

larger than I thought

(28 by 42)!

😩😨😧

Here it lies, laid out on my

dining table awaiting

layering and pinning...

A closer look at that indigo border

fabric with birds over ocean waves...

Isn't that a pretty fabric to set it off?

I am happy that i had enough to

go all around...I cut 2" strips and 

have perhaps 8" left...

This quilt will rest for a bit while my 

back recovers from standing

to cut and sewing...

**********************

TOMORROW:

We have workers coming 

to change our internet provider--

they were scheduled to come

today, but the stormy weather

delayed them...💧🌂🌁⛈

***

And I will do our weekly shopping;

now knowing that my daughter will

be coming down for Mother's Day

and my Birthday;))))

Oh--- and here is a pix of the backing on

my "Scrappy Snowballs" piece

which is all pinned and

ready to be quilted...

I really love this paisley fabric...

I think it looks so vintage ;)))
