Quilts and my magnet obsession

Mr Wazoo began his day 'watering' the new driveway. He has done this twice today. After a thorough wetting, he came to the studio and quilted his heart out on this customer quilt for a son going off to college in the Fall. (After he finished, it was time for another baptism of the new driveway...)

The school colors are burgundy, gold and white. Perfect!

I rested my foot today, doing some sewing. This is a commissioned quilt where the customer (my daughter!) chose the fabrics. It is certainly out of my box! She wanted a winter quilt for the living room and the fabrics are taupe, dark brown and cream. I added the red, because it would have been truly dull without it. I made the blocks and have the rows sewn. Tomorrow I will get the top done and add the border. The backing is quilter's flannel.

My other confession is my adoration for whimsical magnets. I get them everywhere I go and put them on my refrigerator. I have been so many places, that I have to rotate my collection now and again. Plus, I love funny things, too...Here are just a few.

Kinda blurry...it says, "If pigs could fly, I bet their wings would taste absolutely delicious!"

One of my kids found this one.
"A recent study has found that women who carry a little extra weight
live longer than the men who mention it." ha ha ha ha

My favorite, "A clean house is a sign of a wasted life"

From a greeting card, "Honey, what's for dinner?"
"Go to hell burgers and a side order of kiss my ass!"
(My kids have my wicked sense of humor, too.)

These are just a few of my destination magnets.
The pictures are there to make me smile.

Okay, I have veered from my quilty blog post, but still have something left in the quilt-bag. Trying to get UFOs off my shelves, I took down a dust covered box of log cabin blocks given to me and sewed them together. I added a red border and made a backing. It has joined the others on the rack, waiting to be made into a useful quilt. Life is still good.
