It Would Have Been Nice...

...to sleep in a little bit this morning. But our friendly barking dog across the lake decided otherwise. Instead of barking through the night his owners decided we needed to be up at 6:00 this morning. I don't go to bed until around midnight, so I'm kind of tired again today.

We like to keep the A/C off as long as possible, especially since we could use heat in the morning with temps in the mid-40's of late. Having the windows open at night keeps the house cool so when we shut it up around 11:00 we don't have to use the A/C. Maybe I need to switch rooms for the summer? The other loft bedroom faces west instead of NE where the dog is. I think I may try that tonight?

Meanwhile, here's some of the quilting going into Dianes quilt...

Cross Hatch and Ribbon Candy

After lunch I rolled up the strip quilt and put it in Jims room for now. Since the machine was now free I got this prepped to baste in for maybe tonight?

Look familiar?

Since we had such a gorgeous day weather-wise yesterday, I went out and assisted Jim on this project...

Just getting started

Once we came inside for the night I made a Love Letter block and then started to blanket stitch another cowboy boot. While I'm making the Love Letter blocks, I'm also stitching and making pinwheels for this new table runner...

Picked this up at Bittersweet last week in the sale section

You can't tell from the pic but that fabric is a whole lot of garden fruits and veggies. Another day on the customer quilt above. I have guild tomorrow up in Hale so may not blog until later in the day.
