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
I finished working the spokes with an
Picked out my thread...for the petals
of my Little Quiltlet"
"August Zinnia"
↧↧↧↧
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)!
😩😨😧
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 ;)))
