Well, first let me pick up where the last blog left off.............kabobs for supper! David did an excellent job on the grill.
And another UFO is finished! I finally got the binding done on Sarah's college t-shirt quilt. I think it turned out well. I'm hoping she forgets for awhile that she still has a tub of shirts from high school.
Now for the quilting marathon...............since I returned from vacation with Sarah, I have quilted 18 things. Number 19 is on the longarm today. This is day 24 of the quilting marathon. Most of these were for other people, with only 3 being mine. Three were placemats, two were baby quilts, but the rest were QUILTS!
And on the piecing side of things, I finished this cutey! Waddles!
Is this just the cutest ever? When I saw the pattern on Sew Sweet's live shopping, I showed it to David. He said I might as well get the pattern and make it because that was the only duck I was ever gonna get. Of course, I had cut this to take to our upcoming retreat on the 20th, so had to cut a couple more things just in case I ran out of things to work on at retreat! As if!
In between the quilting (which has only happened when we weren't having thunder storms) the black raspberries have been yielding a quart or more a day. They don't seem to need much sunshine to ripen. We've also picked cherries twice (no photos, I'm just too sticky at that point to touch a phone). There is still another tree to go which David predicts has 5 gallon on it.
My mom has told me that these would make a great syrup. I think she's hoping some will make it to her house. I already have a gallon bag of them in the freezer, so maybe some syrup will happen.
And Mabel is still pregnant. She looks like she has swallowed a barrel. With all the time in the sewing room, she and Esme have cleaned me out of treats. They were so pleased I made a trip to Walmart to restock.
And Mabel is officially too big to open the cabinet door over her belly anymore.
She can clearly sleep anywhere.
