Wednesday’s Girl

Wed girl - 1 (1)

I finally got into the sewing room long enough this morning to create my sixth little girl block. 

It has been rainy and humid and too hot around here this week. I am so ready for fall. Between shampooing and humidity and blowing with a hot hair dryer, I don’t think my hair has been dry since May. 

I have to get ready to go to physical therapy, so gotta run. This is my third week, and I really don’t think it’s helping. Aside from that first day, when I had a good 24 hours following therapy, I haven’t seen any improvement. In fact, the therapy hurts, and I’m fit for nothing but bed when I get home. But I’m going to see it through this week, and if I still haven’t felt any improvement, I think I’ll give it up. 

Happy Hump Day to all.

Wednesday's Girl is charming as are her friends. Well done, you!

Sorry the PT isn't helping as much as was hoped.

This morning I finished the second 22" square quilt I made for the two daughters of our friend for whom I made a star quilt several years ago. These small quilts were made from leftover star blocks and tiny free HSTs. Will send a photo soon.

Please send rain!

Happy hump day to you, too!

Hugs!

Getting There

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...
