Well... some people call Vernor's ginger ale. Some call it cream soda. I'd say it is somewhere in-between or different. It is definitely not alcoholic but it is hard to describe. He's keeping to his keto way of eating so this is diet Vernor's.

Yup. Twenty minutes of icing and then an hour off. Then 20 minutes more of icing. It's a pain but it does seem to be helping. When I'm up and around for any length of time, it swells so much that it's almost painful. The icing does seem to help that. I noticed on Friday that my foot is looking like a foot again and there's actually shape to my ankle. It used to look like this big blob with toes with a stovepipe stuck in it so I'm happy about that. We'll see what the doc says on Wed.

Sharon...sorry, I just saw a picture on Pinterest and copied it, making fewer colored pieces in the stack. The "logs" are each 2.5" x 4.5". I had a lot of small amounts of pinks from previous projects, so this pattern worked well for that. I'm always on the lookout for a string pattern I like too!

Judy, congrats on finishing the UFO! It a beauty!!
I've been busy today. I finished 3 baby quilt tops and have 2 more almost done. My aim was to do only 4, but I had a bunch of squares left over from them, so I hunted in the stash for more fabric to make the 5th one a real scrappy. I'll finish the last 2 tops and get a good start on sandwiching all of them.
I checked out 5 or 6 audio books from the library yesterday ... all mysteries... cranked up the CD player and sewed like crazy!! What fun!!

[QUOTE=recycler;8226774]Looks like a lot of work being done this weekend! Love seeing everyone's projects! I finished my 2 quilts...had one mainly done, and the other needed borders, quilting and binding. Both simple and quick!
Love the quilt and quilting, do you have room to move? I drool over every Long Arm I see, no room in the house. But maybe a sit-down mid-arm is what would work for me.

Wow, I am in awe of everyone's creations. Too many to call out by name, but you are one energetic creative group.
I quilted two and worked on a quilting challenge I'm participating in. I'm now ready to work on the hearts and nine patch quilt. My camera is charging and I'll post pics in an hour or so. I've quilted four quilts in three days and my shoulders are aching. But it's a good ache.

I had a very productive retreat, completed the first clue blocks for a guild mystery, added 2 more rounds to a BOM medallion UFO, and made some string sashing strips for a super-sized version of Wonky Wishes. No pictures, but I have managed to put all of the equipment I took to the retreat away! Whew!!
raggiemom, I was at Clifty Falls state park... hopefully will be at the OVQG retreat in the fall.

Connie--I may have to check the wheels on my chairs. I'm wondering how much thread might be stuck in mine!
Lots of great progress and projects!
I finished cleaning out my sewing chair wheels. Whew! It’s amazing how much thread gets stuck in them. I guess I probably should be better about sweeping the area.
I finished my 3 blocks for a BOW. Now on to my BOM blocks. I have several projects to choose from for leader/enders and one may be a finished top by tomorrow.
