I started the day finishing the borders and sewing them on the quilt from yesterday. I stopped there,
because I really needed to do some customer quilting!
|
I'm starting to really like this quilt! |
Mr Wazoo spent the day outside in a supervisory position and getting filthy doing it. More later on this. Meanwhile, I quilted a customer project with a panto that is too big to be done on his machine.
The colors are more vibrant than the photos, more turquoise than what shows up here.
|
Pretty delectable mountains in shades of turquoise. Some of the fabrics have metallic bits, too. |
|
Panto: Primrose swirl |
|
The back is black with gold flecks. There are a couple of blocks in the center, too. I forgot to take that picture. My bad. |
Then there was dirt. Loads and loads of dirt. Mr Wazoo has bought a shed (got a great bargain on the shed), and he had to get the area for it filled with dirt since it is on such a steep slope. Trucks came and went all day, dumping dirt and tamping it down. Then they smoothed it out and leveled it. There is at least a three foot drop from the dirt to the driveway on the down slope. That's a lot of dirt!! Mr Wazoo was shoveling and taking out rocks all morning before the dirt men came, so he is filthy with the red clay soil we have here.
|
I heard the rumble outside and stuck my head out of the studio to see what was happening. They had dropped off the Bobcat and one load of dirt. |
|
Mr Wazoo had cut all the low limbs before they got here. The workmen took down two small trees, too. |
|
I didn't take the picture sideways...that's how steep the slope of the driveway is. This was load number 4. |
|
Mr Wazoo 'supervising' load number 5. |
|
Six loads later, it is done! The Bobcat man leveled the dirt while Tim and the dirt man watched. (He's behind the truck) I took the pictures from the deck. |
Tomorrow, they will be moving rocks around and grading. All for a bargain of a shed. Sigh...
