All The Weekend Things!

Happy Monday, everyone!

I hope you had a wonderful weekend - I know we did!

This was last night's fantastic dinner on the porch with Nola's Bonniacs.

Amazing food, and fantastic friendship - all the way around.

And yesterday when asking if anyone wanted to go on a walk - I got the response of "No, it's too hot."  LOL!!

It had reached the height of perfection - a lovely 75 degrees.  Which isn't too hot for me, but would require sunscreen and shorts. At least.

We did, however get some steps in on Saturday!

Nothing like a long dirt road down a holler!

And in the span of about a week - more things are blooming!  I was enchanted by the small periwinkle blue flowers by this old tree stump.

And the abundant yellow on the roadsides.

This landmark is our one mile turn around spot!

It always gets a lot of attention.

Meanwhile back at the inn - fun things are happening!

This triangle quilt is a community project and everyone put in two blocks easily made from Fat Quarters.

This 1/4 layout of a quilt top became this:

4 more sections like this will become one full quilt top.

The blue/yellow one has grown!  Looking good!

Pile of brights and blacks in the dining room.

Every bit of design space is being utilized!  Laura's is laid out on the turret store floor!

More blocks coming together -

Two quilts by two different people  in progress sharing this space.

Rows are joining rows!

Tada!!

An owly finish!

This happened at the coffee station -

Need more chicken things to carry on the theme!

Porch time stitching!

I love to see these little nooks and corners being used and enjoyed when the weather is like this.

The nice weather also brought Flash around.

I think the abundance of different people make him a bit skittish - we hadn't seen him in a few days. 

These photos were taken through the back door window.

And for me - this is what was going on yesterday.

I bought a chest mount for my phone - thinking I could use it "hands free" to be able to make short videos - and - let's just say it leaves a lot to be desired, so I ordered a tripod/stand thing from Amazon and it will be here when I get back from Idaho.

I'm this far.

Pattern to come in the fall.  I have a lot more to make.

And I'll be gone for a week - I leave tomorrow for Idaho tp spend a week with my mom and family, pre-mother's-day.

I don't know if I'll have time for blogging, or even have interest in giving that time away when I could be interacting with family - so keep up with me on Instagram/Facebook.

We'll catch back up again when I get home.

There will be a post tomorrow morning, but after that - it will be Wednesday, May 8 before I can sit at my desk and write like this again.

So lovely.
No more long range view - nearly gone.
SO MUCH POLLEN!
This morning my eyes are nearly stuck shut - I've got the antihistamine eye drops and the Nasacort and the other allergy meds going.
We are wrapping up the Bonniacs retreat today - they will also be on their way home tomorrow.  
But I think we'll get in one more walk this morning (Before it gets too hot) and I'll be back in the studio cleaning up the mess I made yesterday.
How was your weekend?  Did you get up to anything good?
