Bountiful Show & Tell

Thumbnail-1

Bee at Sally’s house yesterday was great fun. That’s Sally in the photo above, holding the project she is currently working on. Aren't her hand appliquéd circles just perfect?

We enjoyed an abundance of show and tell. I had planned to take my “Star-Spangled Summer” quilt, which I finished binding just in time. But I left the house without the quilt and didn’t think of it until I was halfway to Sally’s. Ah the mind, how I miss it.

Today I have a dentist appointment to start on a getting a new crown on a bottom tooth. A couple of week ago at my checkup, Dr. S found a small cavity where the tooth and gum meet. He said in order to do the job right, he’d have to not only fill the cavity but also take off the old crown and replace it. Otherwise he said some of the cavity could be missed. I haven’t had a cavity in decades. I don’t look forward to the drilling.

Below are photos of the rest of our show and tell from yesterday. Thanks to Cyndi W. for her excellent photography skills and her generosity in sharing. Doris gets the prize (if there was one) for the most projects shown this month, so I’ll start with her.

Wow! That’s a lot of work, Doris. She does her own quilting too with her long-arm machine. All those quilts are going to charity.

Below ar some of Sally’s finished quilts that she brought out for us to enjoy.

And, in return, Cyndi made this one for her Japanese pen pal.

Now off I go to the dentist’s chair!

Love the show and tell quilts! One and all are just wonderful and deserve applause!

Poor you. I don't like going to the dentist at all. Not one little bit. When I was 4 years old I bit my first dentist because he put his hands in my mouth!

Hugs!

Getting There

Image
The new Blackberry Creek is getting close to completion. Thank you, Jed for all your work. I've finally found a minute to get still and learn to post. Doesn't seem too difficult. When all the old posts and photos get transferred, we'll start working on the layout.  Today, I'm going to attempt to scale the stairs and do some work in the sewing room. I'm falling father and farther behind on my schedule to get things ready for the June 2026 quilt show.

Book Talk

To celebrate getting the border sewn on to my millefiori quilt, I decided to read a book--all the way through without stopping to sew anything. And I picked just the right one: Dear Edward by Ann Napolitano. If I had wanted to put it aside to sew, I don’t think I could have. This is the best book I’ve read for at least a year. It’s one of those stories that almost reads itself. You don’t feel like you reading but just enjoying an enthralling story. The pages fly by, and you’ve finished the book way before you’re ready to leave those wonderful but broken characters. The main character, Eddie (Edward) Adler, at the age of 12, survives an airliner crash. The crash claims 191 lives, including his parents and older brother. For the next six years, Edward struggles to carve out a place for himself in a world without his family. The story is heartbreaking and at the same time uplifting.  If you’re looking for a good book to read to usher in Autumn, I recommend this one highly...

Catching Up

This is my new granddog Ozzy. Daughter Andy recently adopted him. He initially showed up at Jesse's girlfriend's house, and after trying unsuccessfully to find his owner, she made him at home. But having one dog, two children, three cats, and a full-time job already, Ozzy (his name was Chip at the time) became too much for her. So Andy took him in. At first she was sure she had made a mistake. Not having ever owned a dog that she was responsible for (we had dogs from time to time when she was a child), she was sure she had bitten off more than she could chew. But things are settled down, and Andy and Ozzy have bonded. They visit me frequently, usually on Saturday to watch the Bama game--or in the case of last Saturday, to watch movies as there was no Bama game. Ozzie is a very good dog and appears to be well cared for. He had not been snipped, but he has been now. And the vet gave him a clean bill of health. As of yesterday, all the blocks, all 120 of them, are finished fo...
