Quilt is done

I finished the Block of the Month quilt from Gone to Pieces quilt shop in Kimball and finally got a chance to photo it. Hope you enjoy this as much as I do. There was a bite of wind out there today so the pictures are not the greatest but it is finished and published.

Fishing

I golfed pretty well this morning and then did some running around town, got my nails done and got home in time to put the final two borders on that quilt top. It looks really good, no picture yet, as it is too big to hold up and there was too much wind outside to hang it on the clothesline for photos. Maybe tomorrow.

Norb and I went fishing this evening and had a great time and success as well. I got my limit and Norb got a half a limit. I have 5 or 6 that were 3/4 of a pound to 1 pound. We weighed a couple with my Weight Watchers scale when we got home. It was a great night. It's a little after 10 and all the fish are cleaned and soaking in salt water in the frig, the dish washer is going and now a little time for computer.

Haven't been here for a long time but just got done eating at our church festival and now will be putting the borders on a quilt I started in January. It is a block of the month project and I am finished with the blocks and sashing so hopefully between working at the festival and golf tonight I will be able to get the borders on and finished. Then, decision time, will I quilt it myself or take it to a long arm quilter. Just don't know.

The quilt shop in Kimball will rent out their long arm quilting machine and that might be an option also. I will have to take a class on how that operates but that should not be too difficult for me to get done. I know that will all have to wait until fall when I can't golf three or four times a week.

Wow, I got out alive and I actually found what I was looking for. I did have to have lunch when I was done. All that digging got me hungry you know. Then I had Norb adjust the sewing machine. I have been haveing trouble with the height of the machine on the lift since I got the new machine. After a couple of phone calls to my friends at the sewing center, we got it figured out. Then I put the borders on and it is ready to sandwich into a quilt. Then a little machine quilting and off to club next month for show and tell. Thanks Deb for being on call in case of emergency. I know how my friends are. If I know my friend Eve would ever read my blog, I could have put her on allert also.

Good morning on this rainy day. I just want to post a little thing to all of you but especially to my friend Debbie. I have a little quilt done for the heritage group and now need some border fabric. Here's where that Debbie comes in. She knows where the stash is. I am going to the stash and if she does not hear from me in a day or two, she knows where to send the rescue squad. Can I count on you to do that for me Deb? I know that I will not starve to death in a couple of days but I am a little fearful of being smothered. Sooo, now I will go with a clear idea that Deb will be on her job. Hugs to all of you

Well, this is what happens when you start to get old. I forgot that I had taken a picture of this block and it was not so good, sooo I had to take another one and so the missing is found. OK, Debbie, you are off the hook.

Now, does someone want to help me find my missing brain cells? I have no idea what happens except that I am on my second cup of coffee today and that is not enough to get the body moving. Maybe later I will function a little better. Did you catch that maybe?

Sooo, we have 5 more of the Dear Jane blocks done. Deb has been after me to put them on the blog so I hope she is happy now. I think I have 9 blocks done so far. Had to take a little break and do up a couple of Project Linus quilt tops and a couple of block of the month blocks. I think I may be missing a block of the DJ here so will have to post this and then go back and see if I can figure out which of these are missing. Go figure, only 9 blocks and one has gone missing already. Do you have it Debbie?
