Still working on outside stuff and sewing.
These fabrics were in a tub together. Never had a plan. Yesterday Karen told me about a pattern from cluck cluck sew. Fat quarter shuffle. I cut all the strips I would need and started sewing blocks.
Hmmmm. Not very impressed.
I did all of the blocks of this type and started to like it better.
Today I will sew the other set of blocks and see what I get.
The hydrant before the new pavers.
The hydrant with the new frame put around it. We were able to just pick it up and move it to where we wanted it.
The pavers in place. I put locking sand between them the next day. Went with rocks around all the pipe things sticking up. No need to go shopping, all this stuff was piled up in different places here.
The pickets are up. They haven’t seen the light of day in years and years. First in Aunt Meta’s garage and then in a shed here. My mom remembers them from when she was a little girl in the 1940’s. She wasn’t sure when they came out.
Maddie and Kyle were married on Saturday. We were the only aunt and uncle going to the reception. So before the aunts headed back to Minnesota we stood around and had a visit with them.
The newlyweds leaving the church.
We put up a bunch of corn. Mostly freezing it. I’m told that there is a shortage of lids! You can’t find them anywhere around here. I’ve got a small supply of wide mouth, so that’s what I used. We had one last night. Tastes like a can of corn from the grocery store. Nothing spectacular, just the satisfaction of knowing we had put it up ourselves.
Okay. Back to sewing.

So much fun stuff! I love your Fat Quarter Shuffle. The wheels are turning as to what fabric I'll make mine with. lol And the pavers around the faucet turned out so good. That should last for many years to come! The groom sure looks happy! I'm sure they were glad you guys were there. And the corn, it looks like you will be well stocked. We have been eating so much fresh sweet corn, i'm getting tired of it!
Great post - hope you and yours weren't terribly affected by the derecho earlier this week. Like those new pavers around the pump! Good luck with the quilt top.
So nice to see the wedding! We're still wondering when my son and his fiance are going to be able to have their wedding...
I really like you new hydrant layout. It looks fresh and modern!
The “new” picket fence looks great! The view beyond them is so lovely—corn fields, distant farms, silos, and pretty clouds in a very big blue sky. It makes me miss Nebraska.
