Whats on my Design Wall and etc...........

I have finished another top.  Hooray.  I am making progress. 







This is JAC (Just a Cat).  She loves her box.  She has a couple of them in the sunporch.  She goes from one to the other, watching the lizards and the leaves blow and anything else that moves.

My daughter has a job.  She starts today.  She moved to Spokane about 6 weeks ago.  She could not find a job locally.  Spokane is a much larger city then the Lake Charles area and her opportunities were better. 

It is still hot in Louisiana.  Where is winter????  It is a pleasant 68 degrees at the moment but it will get to about 86 before the day is done.  It is also suppose to be very windy today.  There is a wind alert for the lake.

Hope all is well on your end.............

What's On My Design Wall and etc......

I went to retreat over the weekend.  The retreat was held at Stone Creek Lodge near Kuntze, TX.  It is a lovely place.  The food is wonderful and the staff so nice.  We of coarse can sew from dawn to dawn.  I think some do.  I  just don't have the stamina for that anymore, but I try to get in my share of hours.  I have many pictures to post, so will not chat much.  The first picture is my project and my design wall......... those after are the other retreaters.  Click on the pictures to get a better view.

What's on my Design Wall 4 Oct 2010 and etc

I decided to finish a UFO.  I started this, I think, last year.  I had three blocks to make and then put it together.  I will make the back, get it quilted and bound and then it will it will be back here again, hopefully then I can hang it. 










It is absolutely beautiful in the south, the deep south, south west Louisiana.  It is 71 degrees, the sky is a beautiful blue, there is a wonderful breeze and fall is here.  I could not be happier.  Goodbye summer.........

Victor was here this past weekend and cleaned out part of the garage.  I can park in it.  Anybody who knew Jimmy Dear knows he had many duplicates, triplicates and so on, all filling up the garage.  He loved to shop probably as much as I love to buy fabric.  I was looking at the garage and thinking what a lovely sewing room it would make.  It would be perfect for a long arm. 

Hope all is well........
