Oh, Happy Day...

Cleaning the quilting room always leads to great finds!!  I found 9 facecloths with the binding cut off...just waiting to be matched with pretty fabric and finished...Done!
 I found tons of orphan blocks destined to be potholders...more fun...
 A cold winter's day led me right to the pantry where I found Nancy's homemade delights from her pear tree.  I am keeping this one to add to Marie's famous chicken salad.
 On Tuesdays, Panera has a deal on bagels.  My lunch was an onion bagel with yummy pear preserves.  Thank you Nancy!!
Snow is predicted to start shortly in Charlotte..unusual for us...This indulgent grandmother sprung for these at Walmart this morning....These with some double socks should make the snow play better.  They did not have my size...I love them anyway.
 Tile all done on the downstairs handicap bathroom renovation.
And then there is this skirt from Eithne.  Thank you Eithne...a few tucks in the waist made someone quite happy last night.
 You know that a tablet reads better when one wears a pretty skirt.  So admired by Zoe.
 Found these too for a hospital quilt...someday...not today...back into the mess they go...lol..
Debbie posted about adorable small design boards from Bee in my Bonnet.  I love small design boards, but never ever thought of the glue gun and the colored bindings.  I make mine with staples and these are way cuter!

Green Star finished

I had a great time yesterday at Mugg's Sit and Sew...great friends, good food and good sewing.  Not to mention very cool inside and not working outside in 104 degrees.  I finished this orphan block, wonky lap quilt.  Even though the learning curve is not my favorite thing, I am pleased that I tried a different free-motion style in each block.  Sherry is right, once it is washed all the flaws go away and it is just comfy and pretty.
Being "creative" in my photography..ha ha...actually I was braving the heat under the tree..chicken me. 

I am once again off to the grocery store for things I forgot for the bday party tomorrow.  Useless to wish that my kids would take over the party scene for this old lady...but grateful that I have a wonderful family anyway.  And when it is at my house, I do not have to go out in the heat.
