Oh! Lots of lovely blocks still showing up!
I've not done much sewing for a couple of weeks now. Been spending today moving stuff (including machines) around in my sewing room because my new embroidery machine was too big to fit where my old one was.
My DD and her fiance put an offer in on a house on Friday, got a counter on Saturday which they decided to accept. The house is currently empty and they are renting so they hope to be closing 5 weeks. That would be very exciting as we plan on being in GA at the time so will be able to see the new home!

This was one of Moonrise’s medallions. I hope this works for you. I put the scraps in the pkg but maybe a chapstick holder or pen is about all that’s left!

Terriamn, I love the soup festival idea. Glad you had lots of good food to chose from.
Love your block Mona. You’re almost done, too. [/QUOTE]
Macybaby, How exciting about your DD’s new home. It’ll be tough to wait to get in but I’m hopeful they’ll live many happy years there. Congrats.
So internet is spotty enough up here that that I can post and such but not get on the gallery so it’ll have to wait. We’re at 8700 feet and then some. No problem with the altitude but it’s so dry I’ve got to drink water constantly. Sunrise is in about 20 minutes and it appears I’m about the only one up so I’ll have it all to myself.. DH is tucked in bed but he might surprise me and appear to see the sunrise. It’s 33 degrees outside. Brrr.
Big news! DS and FDIL are eloping this weekend! They’d planned to do it in November in Asheville with just immediate family at the courthouse but work is taking them both to our old home, San Diego, and they called to ask if we’d be ok with them marrying out there and then having a big ceremony/reception next year after the baby comes. DH and I looked at each other and said to go for it. This is what they want to do so we’re ok with it. We’ll see them in a couple of weeks anyway. I’m not as disappointed as I thought I’d be. How can I be when there’s so much happiness floating around us right now? And the grand is growing nicely and still looks to turn up right around Christmas! If all goes well, they’ll be married this weekend. We’ll see!

Such happy news, Janice! Congrats to you all! And a baby by Christmas is the best gift of all....
Today is the first day I've actually felt a break in the heat! It's only 68 degrees currently, and I'm supposed to teach a class in the pool at 10. I hope somebody shows up for it. This may be our last week for water classes until next Summer. I'm not complaining, tho. I'm so ready for Fall!

I thought I posted yesterday but I’m not seeing it. This is a side swap for GramE. I hope you like it. Mailing this week. Absolutely no hurry on my block. The later boom doesn’t get to us until November. I just wanted to make sure you got this block when your boom arrives. [ATTACH=CONFIG]617700[/ATTACH]I love to do appliqué and since that’s very different from what you do I chose this block.
