No, not for me. Dear Daughter #1 and Dears SIL made the move yesterday and that meant lots of packing, loading, and unloading and unpacking! We almost got it all moved but have plenty of unpacking left to do.
Isn’t it a grand old house?
I am tired and sore today! I work at the library this afternoon. That seems like a vacation right now.
All went well and I am so happy for them.
Still working away at my stack of Quilts Beyond Borders tops. This is loaded but I won’t start quilting today.
Cute fabric, huh? I did not piece any of these recent QBB tops.
Today I am helping Daughter #1 and dear SIL into their new house….new as in built in 1916! It is awesome!
Time to get to work!
I got this top loaded yesterday and got up early to quilt it before work. It is off the frame and ready for binding!
The colors are really off in the full view shot. I free handed a swirl and feather pattern. It really went fast!
Have a great day everyone!
This is the quilt I made in the days following September 11th, 2001.
In the red stripes, I have quilted 2 Chronicles 7:14 which says:
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven, and forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Our rallying cry since that fateful day has been, “Never, ever forget.”
Today, my heart is heavy. There are those in our government, along with our president, who would have us side with rebels in Syria against the government there. These rebels are linked with Al Quaeda, the very same group that attacked our nation 12 years ago today.
There are many reasons that I feel these strikes are wrong. But today, the very thought of this crushes me.
To align ourselves with Al Quaeda, in any way, is utterly appalling. It is an affront to all those who lost their lives that day. to those in our military that sacrificed everything fighting against these terrorists. It is reason enough to stay out of this conflict.
As a nation, we must never forget.
Mr. President, Senate, Congress, have you forgotten?

This is what I am working on today. It is another top for QBB.
I did a bit of thrifting with my girls this week. Here is what I found.
Love this! It is probably a bit heavy for a quilt but I am sure I will find a use for it.
Love this Alexander Henry print. it might show up in a QBB.
There isn’t anything on the selvedge of this one. It is fun and funky!
I am linking up with Lee at Freshly Pieced for Work in Progress Wednesday!
This is what I have been working on lately:
I completed three more since the Nemo quilt. This is the strippy I was working on yesterday.
I meandered this one as it didn’t lay quite flat. Meandering helped to tame the beast!
I sued a panto on this one.
The panto is called American Flourish and is from Meadowlyon Designs.
I am linking up with V=Connie at Free Motion by the River for Linky Tuesday.
I am working on a top for Quilts Beyond Borders. This strippy top is perfect for trying out different quilting designs and trying out some of the templates I have purchased. I guess you could say that instead of Design Wall Monday, I am working on Design Frame Monday!
The green strip is only half done, I will make wiggly lines underneath the wave as well. I have a few rows to go and then on to the binding!
I am linking up with Patchwork Times for DWM.
Here is my first finish from the box of ten tops I will be finishing for Quilts Beyond Borders.
I have the next one on the frame and hope to get it quilted this weekend.
This is what I finished last night.
Ten jars of salsa with more to come this weekend. Now, off to work! Have a great day everyone!
I got most of this top quilted yesterday and finished it this morning.
The colors aren’t quite right in these pics. When I got home from work, the canning started. I got 11 quarts of tomato juice done before falling into bed.
Today I hope to get some salsa made.
