We have motorcycle friends arriving today for the weekend. One is staying in a hotel, the closer friend is staying here. So I'm preparing the house and changing the bed linens.

The men will probably ride bikes into DC to look around on Saturday, but without a babysitter I'm stuck at home with the kids.

Sunday is a big Rolling Thunder ride into and around DC. Kids will be at MIL's house. Things get quiet again on Sunday...

Did get DS's 2nd I Spy quilt done today..it's in the wash now! Whooo hoooo!!!

if you can believe it, it is 93 degrees with poor air quality right now..in Maine, in May. unreal. My allergy induced asthma and allergies are having a grand ole time, the air conditioners are going in tomorrow! hahaha...
parade Monday, but that's about it for us,
have a safe and Happy Weekend all!

I have several quilts in process right now, including two that are paper pieced (my first try at this), so I hope to spend a lot of time at the sewing machine.

Since our land borders on Route 66, we'll be hearing a lot of motorcycles on their way into D.C. for Rolling Thunder.

My oldest daughter coming over tonight to layer a quilt. I hope I'll be able to help a little with my back acting up. The two daughters still home are out there making home made pizza for supper as a young man from church is paying a visit also. Grandson is staying here for the night and the two boys are camping out in a tent in the side yard.
We did have plans to finish putting in the garden in the morning. Well, I guess I can supervise that one. Going to Lowe's to buy some flowers for my front flower garden in the morning.........maybe.
Sunday of course we have church fellowship.
Monday hubby is home from work and I hope to grill out some free range chickens on the grill and have some salt potatoes.
I've been reading the directions on the Pineapple quilt this afternoon when my oldest reminded me that I have the material washed and ironed for a Card Trick Quilt also from Quilt in a Day. Oh bother so many quilts so little time!
By the way my plans to hand quilt one block a day on my Dutchman puzzle was a joke. It's been a week and I have almost one block done LOL. If I finish it in my lifetime it will be a great accomplishment!
I hope everyone has fun over the long weekend.

Staying home here the traffic to the beach is already backing up. Plan on quilting will not be out on the roads again till Tuesday.

We're flying back to our California house today. We just spent 2 weeks in our Connecticut house. It has been beautiful, but yesterday was hot! Next year if we're back here in May I want to stay over the Memorial Day weekend. I really want to see the small town celebration. So tomorrow I will recuperate and then Monday I need to get the boarders on a quilt and get it sent out to be quilted.

No real plans right now I am quilting my cancer quilt hope to get this quilted and binded over the weekend.
Have a safe Holiday everyone!

Not a holiday weekend in Canada - that was last weekend but a beautiful day here. The sun is shinning and the birds are singing - all is right with the world. My youngest daughter and I went to a quilt show yesterday in the nearest city - so many beautiful quilts, so little time!! I'm making a Fons and Porter quilt for a silent auction to benefit our church camp, hopefully I'll finish putting the blocks together today.
Have a great holiday weekend,
Blessings

Spending a quiet weekend at home. My DH and DD are both working on Monday. I am sewing and catching up on some housework. Have a great Holiday everyone. Colleen

Grandmaquilts, where are you in Canada? I saw on another board a lady in Calgary had like 4" of snow on Thursday! She said the trees were all leafed out and they'd gotten out the grill, then snow!

Plans for the immediate future: Get better. I called my mom yesterday and she asked how I was feeling, since I left Minnesota not feelin' so great. I ended up in urgent care yesterday with my boyfriend talking for me, because I have a sinus infection and two ear infections! But, I'm on some really awesome antiboitics now, and the boyfriend is taking good care of me. :)

Earlier, we went to Saturday market and looked at the fruit/veggies and yarn/fabric. Next week, I'll probably buy some, but this week, my best friend was chomping at the bit to go to the airport, even though we told him he needed about fifteen minutes to check in, he wanted an hour and a half! I told him "This is EUGENE, NOT Minneapolis!" But he wouldnt listen. :)

Tomorrow, I have some cleaning to do, and then I'll search around for fabric and yarn shops in the area. Monday, we're going to the library. :)

Keep DD#2's house sterile clean in case someone wants to look at it. (It went on the market Tuesday.)
Answer questions from workers at our house. (Mrs. Mary - Where do you want the towel bars?)
Rip CD music to laptop for Road trip to Oklahoma. More space in RV without boombox & CDs.

Well, it's Sunday of this week end. Haven't got one project finished that we planned to work on. Too many people stopped by unannounced...it rained several times...hubby had to go help a buddy...the rototiller blew up...the push mower still hasn't been tuned up for summer...the riding mower has the cart on it and it's full of dirt, so couldn't use that...SIGH....makes me wanna scream...so we went out to dinner with in-laws, took a long drive on lots of back roads to just "look".
DIL is expecting our third grandchild any time...so, other than going out to dinner, have been staying home near the phone. If the baby doesn't come this week-end, she will be induced on Tuesday. I feel so bad that she has to wait that long...she's been having contractions for 9 days now.
Tomorrow...I'm saying the heck with the yard work. I'm just gonna enjoy the day.
Be safe!

We never made it to Meeting. DH decided on the spur of the moment to go see his brother about 70 miles west. We talked DD#2 into going with us. So we had a little road trip yesterday.
