Doesn't bother me anymore, but for a while there, I thought it would last forever.....Linda Garciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07593066837440988665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-74071984094218943612021-06-19T14:51:43.547-04:002021-06-19T14:51:43.547-04:00Someone gave me some advice about making myself a ...Someone gave me some advice about making myself a note as to what the next step is.

I brought a "doughnut" (like a blown up innertube) to school to sit on. It is hard to be patient but it will heal.<br />We just put black rubber treads on the steps going up to the pool deck for the same reason: to be safe.<br />It was fun to watch you sort your newly acquired scraps. I'm kind of the opposite, as they overwhelm me. I have so many projects that I will never get to the scraps that they leave behind. Luckily we have an art store that will gladly take them for purchase by others who can use them. <br />Ann L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12120848738228807190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-78822747007020091312021-06-18T05:46:35.092-04:002021-06-18T05:46:35.092-04:00I will finish up the baby quilt top with the Diamo...I will finish up the baby quilt top with the Diamond tile blocks I made over a year ago. I love that pattern and when I went to find my issue of Quiltmaker to find that pattern in the the Addicted to Scraps column, I must have every issue but that one. I am sure it is still somewhere in my sewing space, I just haven't found it yet. That is one of my favorite scrappy blocks. And I am piecing the outer border now with light fabrics in strips. Must add a small inner border to set it off and then add the pieced outer border. Then the sandwich part, which is not my favorite part of the process. I am making small quilts or table runners now as I have not need for bedsize quilts in my home. I have two for each bed, and have a couple put back for grand girls... I really do like making large bed size quilts though. I will do a little playing and some art quilts maybe. seleyrnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16952256802310177092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-4771515874708330722021-06-18T04:30:50.438-04:002021-06-18T04:30:50.438-04:00My Dear Bonnie: Please DO Take it easy for the nex...My Dear Bonnie: Please DO Take it easy for the next couple of weeks, and as you say, YES, Your tail bone will take quite awhile to heal. As we get older, everything takes longer to heal.<br /><br />My Thursday consisted of going to Donna Week's "Quilts for U" Sale out on the way to Sterling. She had Batiks for $8.00 a yard. Flat Cottons were 40% off, and if you bought the rest of the bolt, it was/is 50% off. FQs are $1.50, except Batiks are $2.00. I helped put a dent in the Batiks. She is making room for new stock!<br /><br />I put off digging at my friends for Lilac Shoots, Mountain Bluettes, but will do that Monday after class of on WED. After PT. Now it is time to spend time w/ my garden and perennials.<br /><br />Donna <br />Kasilof, AK<br />Where it was rainy yesterday, but sunny at times and cloudy at times today!Donna Endresenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09161370395006714301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-26362619823154592082021-06-17T20:11:33.110-04:002021-06-17T20:11:33.110-04:00I have to ask about the step grippy things, do the...I have to ask about the step grippy things, do they catch all the dog hair? my dog sheds like crazy, but I also took a tumble on my bare steps and broke my foot!

As far as quilty things go, I'm going to take my box of scraps and sort them by color so I can then take one color at a time and organize by size (or cut down if needed). After a month away from the project, last night I started back on Winter Blues. Unfortunately "where did I leave off and what needs to happen next" has to be figured out before I can really start again.Andresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15484918090002608336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-2633337359708094312021-06-17T11:15:26.441-04:002021-06-17T11:15:26.441-04:00Love the quote of the day.

There are 15 treacherous steps that look just like yours. And the railing has gaps in it! Just another project for my dad. Anyway!
