Not Much To Report

Riverton, Utah              High 56 Low 44

We are back to cooler weather, which is more like this time of year is suppose to be.

Monday I went back to the dentist and he didn't find too much wrong. He said there was probably a dry socket where the tooth came out and that is what was causing the pain. So he cleaned it out and put in some ointment (caulking?) and said he would see me in 10 days. 

Tuesday we went to see Cindy's sister, who had fallen and shattered her shoulder socket. I guess it was very extensive surgery and she will be in a sling for a while. Anyway, we helped her clean out some things she wanted to get rid of.

The rest of the week was spent quilting. First I finished one of Cindy's quilt, which took about 8 different colors of thread and was very labor intensive. I think it turned out nice.

Cindy had extra material from the kit and she used it up on the back.

One of my customers brought over two quilts to do, So far I only finished one of them because I had another customer bring two more quilts that she was in kind of a hurry to finish. One was a table topper, and the other a baby quilt, so I hurried and finished them before doing the other one for the first lady. 

The next ones are the second ladies quilts. 

After she came to pick them up, she came with her mother and brought another quilt to finish. I guess, along with Cindy quilts, I'll be busy quilting for a while, which is better than just sitting watching TV.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Mothers Day

It has been a little warmer than usual for this time of year with the weather guessers predicting record highs this coming week. 

Monday I had another tooth pulled. This time it hasn't gone as well as last time. Where the tooth came out, the stitches seemed to come out a lot sooner than they should have. Since Friday, my mouth has felt like I  have been hit in the face. I called the dentist, and the soonest they cay get me in is tomorrow.

Tuesday we had a block party for Cinco de Mayo. Quite a few people were there, but I don't think as many as last year.

There was also a small car show with the party.

I have also finished two more quilts. Cindy sure likes lot of small pieces!

This Harry Potter Quilt is from a kit Cindy got. She had so much fabric left over, she made a really fancy back for it.

Today Tammy, Cindy's daughter, is coming over for a Mothers Day Lunch, which she says she us going to prepare. Of course Cindy is putting in a lot of work also.

Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers out there.

Thanks for visiting.

It's May Already

The weather has been very nice and the weather guessers say the warm temperatures will continue with no chance of freezing. 

Cindy has been busy planting her garden because of the warmer temperatures.

I have been busy quilting, mostly easy quilts. 

During the week, I had one of my customers bring me five small Place mats, wall hangings, and table toppers to have quilted. Some of them, if not the smallest ever quilted, are right there with the smallest. And after I finished them, she brought one more to quilt. Those in the know will relate to only using 1 1/2 yards of batting for all of them.

The ine you can't read is identical to the other May one.

Tomorrow I got to the dentist to have one more tooth pulled.

Thanks for visiting.

More Quilts and Dentist

It rained overnight and the weather guessers say it will rain off and on until early afternoon.

I spent most of the week working on quilts. Mostly for Cindy, but one from one of my customers.

She had a small baby quilt she wanted finished.

The rest of these are Cindy's.

The quarter and dime are to give you an idea of how small the pieces in the quilt are.

Thursday I had to go to one of my least favorite places, the dentist. I had to have four teeth pulled because of decay and infection. I spent the next two days with my mouth feeling a lot of distress. The only trouble is, I have to go back for one more extraction. I guess the bottom teeth didn't want to get pulled, because they took way longer than the top.
