My back is still a mess, but I am soldiering on with my activities...slowly. The blocks for the blue and white quilt have been assembled and I have the border fabric pressed and ready to cut. Meanwhile, I took out one of the layer cakes I brought as a kit and did some sewing! The blocks were a Missouri Star Quilt Company tutorial on You Tube.
There are so many mistakes on this, I am totally embarrassed to show it to you. I guess with all that's going on, my mind couldn't focus properly. Even though the points don't match and many are cut off, I still like the fabrics and block pattern. It may improve with borders and quilting.
Penny is such a good pup. She stays occupied with toys and lets me know with a sharp bark when she needs a bathroom break.
This is the top I made yesterday and today. I got the layer cake in Cumming, GA at Thread Bear Quilt Shop. The colors and patterns appealed to me.
Nancy said I had to show my face, too.
I bet you are having some unusual weather wherever you are. We have had some really hot days, and a lot of rain for this part of the country. My daughter in Portland must be especially uncomfortable. I saw on the news tonight that it was 116 degrees there today! Yikes!! She is one of the unfortunate Portlandians who doesn't have central air. She has a small portable AC unit that can be used where needed, so I guess it isn't too dire. I hope you all are faring well in your neck of the woods.
I had to snap this photo when I got in the car yesterday. Notice the outside temperature.
Try not to notice all the dust! It gets in everything. The wind is fairly steady here, and dust is everywhere.
Penny and Kizzy run and run until they fall over and roll around sniffing and snorting on the grass. I wish I had half their energy! They don't care that it's hot, they love to play.
Nancy has an app on her phone that my daughter showed to me on her phone when she was here. It has all sorts of animals (even a robot, dragon and the poo emoji) that mimic your facial expressions while you record a short message. We played with it for a while today, laughing ourselves silly. I hope it works here and you can see how fun it is. If you have an iPhone 10 or later, it is on there. Unfortunately, I don't have one. (insert sad face here 😕).
First as a piggy...
Then, as myself!
