Watching others work

Well Lily came by yesterday to make my front bed beautiful.  I had gotten some plants on friday and
she came by to put them in, get up those pesky leaves, put in mulch, fix the water spigot and the sprinkler system.  That girl can do anything in record time. Some ladies came walking by and
I was quick to say that Lily was my niece in case they wanted to hire her.  Her days are so full
and I am so grateful for her work in my yard.

I finished these tops last week.  The top one is animal fabrics with star points from blenders we

got on a fabric buying trip with the quilters from Sneads Ferry.  The bottom one is to use all those

wonderful grunges I have stored up.  It is a Lucy Prior pattern.  I reduced the number of boxes to make it smaller but the ratio of sizes for the boxes is crazy.  6 inches finished for the large ones and three and one half for the smaller ones.  Hence the inner border of one-quarter inch!!!I made so many

of the boxes that I have made a modern quilt out of the left overs. We will see what Heather does 

with it!!

This is not the final setting but close.

Well Mr. C slept until 8:45 this am and the rain started at 8:46 so we got wet.  He is sleeping on the

floor where ever he wants at night so he won't fall off the bed.  

Time to work on the 9patch wonder quilt.  Only 15 more small blocks to go.

Rainy quilting.
