I was able to finish my midwest row by row from last year, and took it to the quilter.
Carol is still here to help me.
The May meeting for Gypsy Wife. We are doing two blocks, then the filler blocks, then two blocks and more filler blocks each month. This was the pin wheels month. I love all the different fabrics that are being used. The quilts will all be the same and but the variety will be fun when they are hung together at next years quilt show.
Carol continues to be in the way. I was looking at the ipad and she had to sit on me. Totally blocking my view.
One day I was in the recliner. Ozzy (the dog) was looking up over my head at something.
Good grief, Carol had jumped up to sit on the cupboard behind me.
My out west row by row got this far. I need to finish three more vertical rows to get this into a top.
Going camping slowed me down.
It was a good four days weather wise. The forecast had 0% chance of rain. But out of the blue a nasty storm hit Friday night. The wind howled and it rained and rained.
We brought our stuff over there in a trailer. We sat in that and played Yahtzee. We were able to stay dry. The tents all held stayed standing and reasonably dry too.
We did our painting at the studio too. None of us was happy with our birds. They look more like silhouette people sitting on a branch.
Carol was happy to have us home. She wanted to cuddle near me while I sipped my coffee in bed that morning.
The kitchen was getting worked on. The walls were all fixed up, ready for me to prime and paint.
Carol continued to always be around. Her favorite place was the tray on this ladder. She wasn't bothered by me moving it around to paint.
They left my kitchen sink until the last minute. It was held up with 2x4's.
I met my cousin Max at the Quilted Forest in Forest City. We promptly bought the kits for this years row by row. I couldn't stand it and started to sew it together.
The cupboards arrived and Carol made herself at home.
I went to toss a towel in the washing machine and there sat Carol.
Carol can found just about anywhere taking a nap. No counter tops or sink yet. They came to measure and thought they would be back on Tuesday to install.
My mom is taking me on a quilting tour. We go will leave Wednesday for Oregon. I'll be in Sisters for the outdoor quilt show next Saturday. We will visit 5 quilt shops, all have row by row patterns. I will be collecting kits at each shop.
Yesterday was clean out the garage and house of old cupboards. The majority of them ended up in my shed. They are mostly empty.
At least for now.
I am really trying to fight my hoarder ways. But these just enable me to tuck things away for safe keeping, one just never knows when you will need something!
