Friends Made It Here

It has been almost unbearably hot here and is supposed to stay that way for the next week.

I finished another Christmas quilt.

We were expecting visitors. Sandi Dixon made it last Friday and stayed with us for 2 days on the way to Montana. We had a good visit. She writes Where Are The Dixons Today. 

We were also expecting Nancy Kissack. She said she would be here Saturday at 1:00 pm, but forgot about the time change and that she never travels the speed limit, so she got here at 3;00 pm. In one of her texts, she said have the ice cream waiting, so we had a dish of ice cream for her as soon as she got parked. Sorry for the poor pictures. 

We did get better pictures of Sandi and Nancy.

Nancy and I quilted one of her quilts, which was too large for her machine, and she hadn't quilted much custom. I hope I helped her with the custom quilting a little bit. I had her do some of the stitch in a ditch part.

She seemed more comfortable with this part when we got through. 

We finished her quilt today. I hope she is happy with it. 

Cindy liked it well enough, that she wants to do one like it.

Tomorrow we are going to do our own Quilt Store Shop Hop. There are about a dozen quilt shops to go to, several, Nancy hasn't been to before. The only bad part is that she won't be able to buy any material because she says she hasn't got any storage in her van.

Thanks for visiting.

One More Quilt and Getting Ready For Visitors

It has got very hot but is expected to cool off by the week end. I hope the weather guessers are correct.

We have been busy cleaning and yard work in anticipation of expected visitors. We are looking forward to having them come and visit.

I only finished one quilt this week, but it is the Y seam Nightmare. I didn't want to just do an over-all, so I got a little creative using different patterns and thread.

I don't know why Blogger has to keep changing how to put pictures on my post. I guess it was too easy the way it was and now they have to make it harder.

Thanks for visiting.

Fruit And More Quilts

The weather cooled off and it has been a lot more pleasant than when it was 100 degrees. The weather guessers are predicting the coolest July 4th ever. We don't miss all the hot days.

The bad thing about the Forth of July holiday is all the fireworks going off which scare poor little Penny.

Our apricots are getting ripe, but won't be ready for about another week. The cherries are ripe already and two days have made a big difference in their taste. We used to have birds that got all of them, but the last 3 years they have pretty much left them alone. The first year I didn't know I needed to spray and they all got wormy. Last year I think I picked them a little early. This year they are just right.

Cindy has been busy making quilts and gardening. She made a fall quilt and had blocks left over, so she made a table runner with the left-overs.

I snuck this oriental quilt in between the fall quilt and table runner.

Cindy does like her pieces.

 We are still trying to keep busy. Penny helps with that, she wants me to take her for about a mile walk every evening. Some days have been too hot, but we make it most of the time.

We are supposed to get visitors next week and the week after. We are looking forward to them visiting.

Thanks for visiting.
