Bread and Bags

...but not bread bags...

Yesterday we went to a wedding for a couple who are dear friends of the family.  Both of our kids and spouses were there too. It was a nice day.

I was able to finish quilting panels for all but one of the big bags.  I have it loaded on the frame so it won't take long to quilt.  Hoping to get to it one night this week.


These are 5 of the 7.  You are seeing half a panel of each in the picture. And Addy.  And Bess.  Little photo bombers.

I have a pot of stew cooking on the stove and 2 loaves of bread in the oven.



The stew just needs to be thickened.  Bread should be done soon.  The house smells good!

Vacation Days


Ev and I had the past week off.  We rented a cute cabin in the Missouri Ozarks.  It was a beautiful spot and was very peaceful and relaxing.  Unfortunately, Ev was sick with a respiratory and sinus infection.


I had taken my Featherweight machine and made some of these cute little present blocks.

The new cat, Miss Lenore, was pretty happy to see us.  My sister came over and fed and watered her.  She has become quite the little lover , jumping in my lap and curling up for a nap.

This weekend I quilted panels for 4 more bags on Gemma.

Four Friends i


 Yesterday we had a girls day.  The three of us from my area met up with our friend up north.  We had a shopping trip and then lunch.

See all our bags?  I put goodies in different pockets, too.

My son and his wife moved to the city over the weekend.  They bought their first house.  Since it is in the middle of the city, they didn't take their cat that had been living outside.  We now have a cat living in our garage.  I'm actually loving it.  I go out and spend time with her every night when she comes in for the night.
