I can appreciate sore...DH & I finally graduated to walking up and down our hilly streets and boy howdy does my "well you know" feel it! LOL! We've been doing it two weeks now and I keep thinking it will get easier, but not so far. I have both my little DQ's pinned and ready to machine quilt. Taking the day off to go on a picnic with friends...Happy 4th everyone!

I finished my top. Now to layer it and start quilting. I walked almost 6 miles today and I am very tired. LOL. Hope the 4th of JUly is happy for one and all. I live right in back of Knott's Berry Farm and we have overcast today so we maynot be able to see the fireworks tonight if this marine layer doesn't lift.
But I can smell all the Bar B Que's starting up and kids lighting fire crackers. We are having tacos and then just doing what ever. I sure do miss the Boston Pops Fireworks sitting on the banks of the Charles River. SIGH.

No pressure on my Partner, But, I am almost done as well. Tomorrow, I just need to put the label on my quilt. And it will be already to go. Hope to have it off to you by the weekend.

I spent the whole day with family and friends! I'm visiting my daughter in NYS and it was very nice to see family I don't see often. My brother hosted a BBQ the adults sat in little groups catching up while the kids played in the pool. Now, Grandma is getting some alone time while the rest of the household is off to see the fireworks.

i had a lovely day today with dh. we watched old movies featuring the 4th, went to 2 hdware stores for faucet parts they didn't have, then shopping at tar-get for p'nut butter, watched the macy's fireworks on tv and i added a border to my latest tumbler quilt. i so love my go!! i got carried away and cut enough tumblers to make 2 quilts, and still have some left over! it's so fast and easy! gotta love it! and, speaking of love, tomorrow i should receive my 'new to me' brother embroidery machine!!! it has been used once to piece a lap quilt, that's it! and it has an extra hoop. all for less than half price of a new one. sooo sweet!! and it comes with complimentary fabric, and i'll accept a compliment any time i can get one! i will post pics after i finish unpacking it! it is coming from a friend i met on this board. she was a wonderful support for me when i was going thru really bad times last year and early this year. she asked to quilt some quilts for me as she likes to use her longarm, so i sent her two. i made a jacket for her in the quilting in the new year swap. her daughter liked it, so i made one for her. and our friendship just flourishes. a friend of hers is looking for a serger, and as a young mother of 3 little ones, can't afford to pay much. wouldn't you know it, i have a serger in a never been opened box from 22(?) yrs ago. so for postage the young mom will have a 'new' serger. it's so much fun to do something for someone who will really be happy because of it! anyway, i love my friend and i am so glad we met and it's all due to this board! that is by far the best thing about swaps!!
