Janet's Quilt

Jack & Janet Downey came to visit us a couple of months ago and I showed Janet how to do an outline stitch to embroider the 'A Tisket - A Tasket' quilt, a free pattern at Bunny Hill Designs.

Janet completed the blocks "in record time", her words!

I completed the quilt, just finished it this morning.

Janet, I hope you like the quilt. Will be sending it to you as soon as I share it with my friend Sandy.

I just finished the label this morning.

Dave & Barbara's Visit

I love it when Barb & Dave come to visit. Dave is a 'natural' when it comes to cooking. This visit, he made seafood soup, chicken tetrazzini, chicken tenders, and chicken enchiladas with Mexican rice. All of it was fantastic.

We played cards every night and I whipped 'em all. Not to brag, but I won all but 2 or 3 games. (hee hee!!)

Went to the farmer's market at the Huntington Beach Pier on Friday. That's where the picture of Barb & Dave was taken.

John, Barbara, & I went to swap meet on Saturday.

On Monday, we went to Pechanga. Wish I could have had the luck with me that I had in cards. I didn't win a thing. John hit $400 and Barb won a few times. They both played Keno. Dave did okay at the tables but didn't come out ahead.

We also visited Mom's niche at the Crystal Cathedral. It is so peaceful there.

I think we all had a great time. Barb & Dave got the rest and relaxation they needed.

Project Updates

Luke's finished quilt and here's what I've been doing with all that yarn.......

I have Janet's quilt on the frame and will be trying some of the new functions on my Q-BOT to quilt it.

Since today was so gloomy, I just had to have some comfy food. I made chipped beef gravy with biscuits. OMG.... it hit the spot!

Think I will go out to the frame and start quilting.

Bye for now!
