Catching up

I haven't posted for a few days and I feel guilty. Our daughter came for the weekend to go to the Sorgum Festival again this year, so I was 'otherwise engaged', as they say. The weather couldn't have been better for the outing, bright and sunny with cool temperatures. Even wearing the big boot wasn't  too bad.

Carolyn went for a morning walk before going to the festival, and Molly was thrilled to see her coming home.

Even this fit gal had to breathe hard after the walk up the steep drive!

At Meeks Park, we came across this little squirrel eating his lunch. He had no fear of us and I was able to get in close for the picture.

There was a spot where people could stop and have a picture taken, so we did! Who could resist sitting on a colorful quilt?

Mr Wazoo reluctantly posed for a photo next to the sign for the moonshine man down the path.

Butternut Creek looked beautiful in the sunshine.

Back at home, I had finished another couple of the quilts in the queue while we watched the Badgers beat Illinois.

The last of the Quilts of Valor is done, and Mr W mailed them to Tennessee yesterday.

My QOV favorite panto: Simply Stars

This is a two sided tee shirt quilt I did, and the customer came just after it was hot off  the machine. No finished pictures for you, but she's happy with it. She is off to Florida for the winter.

I'm plugging along on this custom appliqué quilt. I figure it will be at least another week before it's done.

Mr Wazoo has the distinction of being the Employee of the Month due to his efforts with reducing the number of quilts, cleaning the house in advance of company, and putting a comfy pad under my rug at the Gammill. My friend made him this certificate. We laugh every time he gets the 'award'. After all, he is the only employee!! This one makes three times in five years. Ha!

This is a pretty swanky prize!

He finished this quilt as well as getting all the other chores done.

Panto: Quirky

This back didn't photograph well. It is a bright blue Grunge fabric.

In my spare time (ha ha ha) I cut out and sewed the blocks for a charity quilt for the Florida Guild. I will sneak some time here and there to get it sewn and quilted.

Our friends from Wisconsin come today and we are excited to see them. It has been about ten years since we have been together, so I expect lots of happy conversation and fellowship. Then, we are expecting another couple from Florida to come, too. It will be a busy four days here in Georgia. I hope the weather cooperates and we are able to show them how beautiful it is here.

I think there will only be hand sewing going on for a few days, while we sit together in the evenings. I'm still slogging along with the never ending repair of the trip around the world customer quilt. I'm taking it to Texas, too, determined to get the repair done!!

Progress. The light blue squares and the row above them are all new. I will go back and hand quilt everything when the repairs are done.

The pink center of the quilt is also done. And quilted!

The light floral and the pink squares have all been replaced. I think I have done over 100 squares so far.

Just for giggles...here is my son making Dechen's Halloween costume. He wanted to be Captain America, so here he is!

It looks like a joint effort.

All done!

A happy boy!
