You know those days where the rain pours endlessly with no sign of stopping?
The kind of cool autumn morning where you want to just putter around in a comfy pair of old socks, sipping a warm, yummy beverage, listening to an audiobook while you sew the day away?
Aren’t those days just the BEST EVER?!
And don’t let Lola’s stinky-eye gaze fool you. She loved this day as much as I did.
Well, what she experienced of it, as she seemed to sleep her way through most of it. In my bin. Where the fabric I needed was held down by her dead weight sleeping self.
How does that saying go? No scrap quilt is complete without a bit of cat hair?
Some bindings are sewn – not in a hurry, but slowly while enjoying family time of TV watching, popcorn or root beer floats, and loads of laughter in between.
That is the story of the Traveling Star quilt – it’s taken me THIS long, so what’s the rush?
This photo shoot happened yesterday afternoon and of course, Zoey Jo thought it was all about her!
This quilt is destined for one of the beds at Quiltville Inn, and I will be celebrating when that day finally comes where I can put my own quilts back on the beds again.
For now, we will deal with coverlets, and the quilts that retreaters bring to make their bed their own during their stay. And that has its own benefits too.
I love seeing what other folks have made, and they get to share them with each other, like a mini quilt show field trip, everyone going room to room to see what is on everyone’s beds.
Yesterday was a day of hard goodbyes and half-way drives.
Son Jason left early afternoon – destination Kentucky and the Daniel Boone State Park.
His desire to see as much of America and record it through the lenses of his cameras is his goal. In his own words and feelings, there is no time like the present, and he isn’t in that great of a hurry to get back to Portland, Oregon. He does, however, want to make the best use of the weather before things get too cold and rainy – and dare we even say SNOWY – before he reaches his destination.
I am hoping he will share his photos with me so I can share them with you.
Just because you can’t see the sunrise, doesn’t mean it isn’t there shining brightly!
Yesterday morning I went upstairs to find both Jason and the Hubster on the back deck – sending their drones up in various directions.
What was the point? To get above the fog that had settled in all around us.
