One almost done

This top has been done forever

It was ufo blocks and sampler blocks and I bordered them in green

Backed in red

A little lap quilt

I had even purchased a ufo block 

How silly is that

Just sewing down binding and will be ready to keep someone warm

My idea of 5 quilts has been nixed 

Friends don't want to feel obligated to buy gifts which is ok

Times are tough I get it

I may finish them anyway and in January when it's cold gift them randomly

We will see

 

End of the garden

I picked some basil to dry and a lonely tomato

I think this about wraps up my garden

Not much else growing here now

But I am thankful for what I have put up for the winter

God is good

And takes care of our needs

For this I am thankful

 

First batch of jelly

This batch of jelly was done yesterday before work

I know.but I was up at 140 and couldn't sleep

So I processed 4 cups of the juice into 6 small jars of jelly

Sweet

And  its delicious

Tonight is veggie night and then I hope to process more

 

 

More fun stuff

This is the first batch of juice

Ready to make jelly

More to come as it didn't even make a dent in the grape pile

And look here

Oooooio

Wanda of Exuberant Color sent me some goodies for my arboretum quilt

I can't wait to play

She even sent the trunks

How sweet is she!!!!

VERY

thanks Wanda for sharing some of your stash with me

These will make a great addition to my blocks

 

I think i broke it

 Ughhhhhh

My Lil Ole singer wyg 6oas humming along when I heard CLUNK

UT oh not Good so I took my quilt out

And pulled out the Bobbin. There is a thread wrapped tightly around the Bobbin case. I tried and tried to no avail and can't get it out. The guy I normally take my machine to had a triple bypass and is slowly retiring from fixing machines

I got two rows of quilting done on my project. Ughhh. Tons to go for sure

Better set up another machine I guess. I had wound a ton of bobbins too. Figures huh

I guess I am supposed to do something else.

Lucy and Ethel

I have 2 friends who brought me 🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇

Like bushels of grapes

They smell so good 

But I gotta get busy and process them into juice and jam

Maybe I should call a friend and take off my shoes and make wine

Just sayin

If you don't hear from me come looking to see if I drowned in grapes

Ha ha

 

The trees will be expanding

This came the other day

Dunkin and I have both ordered things so I didn't think anything of it 

UNTIL I realized it was from Julierose 

Yes THE Julierose we all know and love 

She sent me a happy package 

To help the trees along 

I mean look at a lot this fun  fabric

Lots of tree possibilities in here

See how fun?

 I can't wait to cut some out and get going again

Love love love these

I am the luckiest girl 👧

I have such wonderful friends 

And I appreciate each one 

I see trees in my future 

For sure f or sure

Thank you thank you so much
