Julie is doing a class and wants to use my Bird quilt as a project show. So the birds are going to fly!
It needs to be mailed off to her so I can't work on it this month. In its place, I will substitute the Diamond Dogs for my UFO completion.
Luckily it is early enough in the month to make the change, I think. I will talk to Judy and see about deleting the earlier post and adding this one in its place.
The Diamond Dogs is a pattern (by another name I can't think of right now) I found in one of my quilt magazines (I can't find right now) last year. I really loved it and wanted to make a dog quilt for a friend of mine for Christmas. Needless to say, i didn't finish it in time for christmas distribution.It recently got quilted, if you remember. And looks dynamite. She may well still get it as a Just Because gift. You know, just because. She will be surprised
I really like this quilt. I want to keep it, like I want to keep ALL of the quilts I make. But I really can't do that, can I?
We went shopping Sunday and I bought two pairs of hiking sandals: a Teva and a Chaco. I love both of them. Frank bought a pair of Old Man sandals. Those are not a brand, that is what they look like. The brand is Keen. They are still old man sandals, no matter what. But he likes them.
He bought a very flamboyant bathing suit. you won't miss him on the ship!
We did a lot of cleaning up in the yard today as well. On Saturday, Frank went with Andrew, Greg and Dennis down to New Orleans to the WWII Museum for the day. They spent the day doing man things.
I spent the day doing sewing things. I followed the tutorial from Patty the Quilt Lady and made this
This is what 100 zippers look like. Patty told me about a great price on packs of 100 zips. She bought some and so did I. I think that sounded like she challenged me to use mine before she used hers up. And........
I brought some meals to a Fiber Art friend who had knee surgery on Friday. She was so glad for some "healthy" food since her hubby kept trying to feed her Canes Chicken Fingers! LOL. I kinda like Canes.....but I eat a lot of the healthy food instead too.
