I think her fur babies will be scared of the fireworks.
We are cooking out at my Moms house tomorrow so probably no quilting for me. I really need to finish the quilt top and start quilting my sons Texas quilt. He and his family live in New York (my DIL is from there), so just a little something to remind him of home.

it's 7:45 a.m.- I've already- 1 load of wash in the washer. backwashed pool, added chemicals, threw in the "bug" to vacuum. Talked to the dogs and apologized for leaving them for 2 days to get away with hubby. Photographed the fabric I bought on mini-vaca to Lancaster. Set up laptop (took it with me) and getting ready to download the pics I took. Having a cappuccino (missed it while I was gone) and relaxing by reading all the new posts.
Have to watch the time, need to shower at 8:30, church at 9:30, then home to start to stain the decks (it is a multiple day job). picnic at son's at 5:30 and fireworks in their neighborhood.
Need to make a list of new projects to do- I have turned a skeptical hubby to a full fledged believer in quilting is not just a hobby, but my passion.
Sewing- maybe, maybe not. we'll see.

I have been struggling to figure out what to make as a memorial quilt for my sister. She sent me the pajamas my brother in law wore in the hospital and toward his end stage. She sent a pair of silk undershorts that he wants showcased in the middle of the quilt and seven pictures she wants in it. Last night I found a pattern that will work. Today I will try to adapt the pattern colors and fabrics to what I have. Then I have to figure out the picture on fabric thing. Lots of thinking before I even sew!!!!

This morning I have sewn 3 and 1/2 inch half square triangles together to make 64 broken dishes block. This is the final blocks. Now I can play with the layout and begin sewing the blocks together. The blocks are six inchs finished, scrappy, and will make a queen size quilt when finished. Happy forth y'all.
