Weekend plans for 8/29?

17 years ago

What is everyone doing this weekend? I am putting a quilt top together with blocks from a Block of the Month program at the LQS and doing laundry. I also bought some machine embroidery designs today and want to try them.

    I went to a moving sale at Joann's, saved over $100! I'm making a birthday block today and that's about it. Waiting for the rain to start here.

    I've cut up another one of my mom's dusters and plan to use some of the fabric in a doll quilt. Two doll quilt tops and 2 more in various stages before I thought of using mom's dusters. Would like to get the backing on the BT quilt tomorrow.

    Band Booster's Duck Race fundraiser was this morning. Can't wait to hear all about it. Kids in kayaks trying to keep the plastic ducks from heading out to the Gulf. LOL

    I am recovering from surgery, but I want to work on quilting a small Fall Challenge quilt.

    I have my fabric all laid out and the pattern picked out, it's too darn hot to quilt!! I thought I'd never say that. ~LOL~ I live in So. California and we are having a heat wave, along with several fires to gunk up the air. I'm not a hot weather person and when it gets this warm I tend to melt and just want to move in slow motion. But I am totally engrossed in a book and I'm looking forward to a couple of movies I rented from Netflix. I can't wait until it cools off!!

    I'm such a wimp in really warm (or humid) weather.

    I spent most of today picking tomatoes, like maybe 150 lbs! Left the small ones to grow some more...don't know why!
    Thought I would stop by here to see what everyone is up to and then I am going to put together some contemporary quilt blocks for a baby quilt.

    Well, today I completed, delivered and cut a wedding cake 45 miles away. Now that I'm home, I am going to have to put pudding into cupcakes that DH has baked, then we'll ice them for church tomorrow.

    Tomorrow I'll unload the car, fold laundry, then it's back to my Round Robin center. Can't wait to finish it!!!

    Yesterday, I kayaked 11 miles on the Missouri River and went to our first football game. We won 36-3 but not sure if I saw any plays as I was chatting and pretty tired!!

    Today, I am picking tomatoes before I go to church, can and then a couples kayak trip where we kayak and stop at a restaurant and then kayak to the end. Should be fun but busy.

    Change of quilting plans for me today.....making chicken with homemade noodles for later today. Might be able to get some sewing in while noodles dry a bit. It's always good when my family can get together....

    I spent yesterday in my sewing room. Completed about 4 dozen embroidered name patches for DH's motorcycle club. More to do today.

    While those were running I was able to cut and begin piecing components for 24-maple leaf blocks. I planned out this quilt with sashing for my cousin who's getting married in October. She lives in VT. DD can take it with her to the wedding since I won't be going.

    Hope to keep working on that today, and probably more name patches.

    Well I spent all day yesterday watching the Kennedy funeral and then watched the HBO special on the Kennedy brothers in the evening. I did take an hour out to attend 4 o'clock Mass. This morning I drove my daughter to the airport so she could pick up a rental car. As soon as I walk the dog I guess I will hit the the sewing room and sew some more of those Dresden plates.

    Yesterday I did 4 loads of laundry, shopped for groceries, made tomato sauce, from veg in the garden, which I cook in the slow cooker, and began quilting my charm quilt that I sandwiched Fri..Watched some sewing shows on PBS, they were having a continuous run of Nancy, Martha Pullen, and Georga Bonesteel. Today I froze the tomato sauce, made a stew in the slow cooker, watched a taped show from yesterday, (Martha Pullen), watched Nancy's Sunday show, finished 95% of the quilting on the charm quilt and entertained DD and 3 of my GGKs.
    Tonight I am doing what I do every nite, play on the computer and then read until morning! Life is good. Jayne
