Linda I want to see your Hungry Caterpillar quilts when you get them finished, my son loved the Hungry Caterpillar book when he was little. Sue I hope you enjoy your trip. I am starting to hand-quilt row #4 of my parents' Card Tricks quilt this weekend. Last week I collaborated with my good friend Christy and made plastic templates for a Kaleidoscope Quit that will be scrappy quilts for her and me to work on in the future. This week we are going RVing and will be taking a few Granny Square quilt blocks to hand-piece that will be part of a baby quilt I am making for my cousin's wife who is due this fall. I have a sinus infection and have started antibiotics for that and M-I-L who lives with us is sick with really bad back pains so I am on full kitchen and laundry duty this weekend. School is out and we are getting to sleep in in the mornings, ... all in all not a bad week, and I have the motorhome almost fully loaded, the bulk of it is done anyway other than just needing to load some last minute things the morning of the trip. Hope everyone enjoys their weekend. Best to you and yours, Sandra

I bought my appliances with my Ebates and Sears discount as well $core!!

Hostas are a nice way to pretty up your balcony. I like that group of three in your first pic. Your little gnome doesn't look too creepy. Gargoyles creep me out more, ....but I know some people like them both.

Linda OH, I love you and your DD sew together. Donna, sounds like you have a lot going on. Looking forward to seeing your hunter's star. Theresa, yay for the purging! Go, go, go! Linda, That's a lot of blocks to stitch. What size are they? Kate, would love to see a photo of your progress. I have the swoon quilt on my list, but can't quite wrap my head around the instructions. Think I need to pull it out and have a deep think on it. I finally summoned up the courage to stitch together those Kaffe Fassett 6" squares I've had in my stash. I've sewn two packs so far, with one left. I like how they're turning out, though they are in no particular arrangement at the moment. I hope to finish the last pack today. My other sewing plans are to make some skirts. We've had sunny, upper 90s weather here this week, and the humidity is around 78%. After running errands in that yesterday, I desperately need some breezy summer clothing. I don't wear shorts, and pants won't cut it. It's all about the air flow when it gets this hot and humid! ;) Hope everyone gets their intended projects done this weekend! Happy Quilting Weekend, y'all!
