Lots of sewing and more rain

 I couldn't believe it when the sky went black and rain poured down yet again!! It's still gray outside and I think there is more rain to come. No respite from the mosquito plague!

On the bright side, I had most of the day to sew! I made a bunch of 9 patches from fruity fabric I bought at Walmart and went about the business of cutting them into split 9-patches. Nothing fancy, I arranged them like you see here, where they make their own sashing and cornerstones. It was fun! Now, I need to get the rows sewn and a side row of sashing and squares for the right side. (I made the bottom row, and it will be sewn on in the end).

The blocks were cut into four pieces and then arranged on the design wall. The fabrics were really cute fruit designs.

My first layout revealed the diagonal line of cherry blocks sticking out.

That diagonal line bothered me...

So I moved them around. Then I spied the diagonal line of lemon blocks!

That dilemma will have to wait until tomorrow to fix.

Nancy was working on her African animals quilt. She had these blocks done and is working on the supporting blocks. It is going to be a beautiful quilt.

The animals are cut from a panel and then framed with coordinating fabrics. 

Nancy is making shoo fly blocks for the spaces. There is a lot of sewing for this quilt!

The park is getting some more Wi-fi poles installed, and the guys came to set this one by Nancy's  house. Boy, did they get stuck!! The truck's back tires were four inches into the mud and they had to have another truck come to pull them out. We've had so much rain, the ground is squishy with lush green grass on top. Very deceiving. 

Before the rain came, my dad's PT guy came and they walked around the block. That's a really long walk for my 98 year old  Dad. He slept most of the afternoon following this workout!

I need to get going. We're having stuffed peppers and spaghetti for supper. I made brownies yesterday, and we'll have a small one for dessert. Yum!
