Happy Memorial Day

Do you know what Memorial Day is even for? You probably do, but does the younger generation? I'd be interested to know that information.

Here's what I worked on Saturday and Sunday...

Pieces of Thyme Block of the Month. Month 5.

I also made this block yesterday; a continuation of my Farm Girl Vintage II...

Mama's Applique Block is what Lori Holt named this one.

I took advantage of the beautiful weather yesterday afternoon and had my first kayak trip of the year. I headed down towards the dam despite the kind of strong head wind I was fighting against to get down there. Here's a pic I grabbed of some of the construction...

Rip Rap beginning to get dumped in front of the sea wall

There will be a lot more changes coming in the future. I'll made occasional trips down there to see how it's going.

Today I'm going to work on another Farm Girl Vintage II block. This one is called Mama's Apron.

Getting Back on Schedule...Kind of.

The flood damage/repair/clean up has finished. Just in time for mom to be closing on her condominium. Now we help move.

Mom recognizes I have a business to run, so is only asking for part-time help. It's going to be a gradual move since her current home has just been listed. I can start getting back into the quilting end of things since it's been more then a week.

These are the stairs going down to our dock and our retaining wall covered under water

A week later and it feels like nothing ever happened. Except for the lake being below winter levels the mess is all gone. We now wait for the fate of our lake and dam after inspections. Hopefully I'll be able to keep my "Quilting at the Lake" name and not have to change it to something like "Quilting at the Stream" or "Quilting at the Bog". Lol.
