The Bee's Knees...........

The Bee's Knees

I have been working on a couple of quilts since I last posted.  Both of them are quilts that I had started and were put on the back burner.   I will post one at a later date but this one I must have embroidered these blocks a couple of years ago.  I love the little bees.  I dug around in my stash and found most of the black and white and some of the yellow fabrics.  I needed a couple more to balance out the color so thus ordered those.  They arrived this week so I am busy making blocks.  I have decided to make it using the "Tossed Salad" idea.  The blocks are a few that I have made.  I still have a bunch to go. 

The Bee's Knees

If you look close all the bee's have knobby knees.  Most of the blocks I still need to trim the connecting threads and I need to cut the blocks to 6 1/2 inches (unfinished). 

I went to a church supper last night.  Those ladies really know how to cook.  They do a terrific job.  I wish they did it every night, although I would probably be as wide as a barn door if they did. 

Not much new here, fall is coming, I love that.  Our temps are cooling down.  This morning at 10:00 a.m. it is 69 degrees. 

Here is a picture of Smokey.  Smokey follows me everywhere.  He is very nosy.  I was putting the bee's blocks on the design wall, he just had to see what I was doing.

Hope all is well with you................

Awesome and not so Awesome

I have posted all the pictures from Alaska.  I just want to say Alaska is awesome but there are things that are not awesome.  I enjoyed my trip immensely.  Alaska has absolutely gorgeous scenery, I loved the food, and I loved seeing the wild animals.  What is not so awesome is a lot of trash lying around.  The towns were getting ready for "tourists."  They call all the fishing people that come there "tourists."  Kenai is known for the fishing - salmon.  They were cleaning the towns up spic and span.  They looked very nice, but if you get out of the towns, people just have a lot of trash.  Very unattractive.  I know you have to duck a wandering bear and grass munching moose now and then, but a big dog is a good alarm system.  I saw some yards that really looked super.  I would guess they have a system.  This ends my saga on Alaska.  I don't know if I will ever get back but I have been looking at a quilting cruise.  Sounds like so much fun for next year.  We will see.  To read about my trip and to see pictures check out the previous postings.

                                                                                                                                                                                                I have to show you my kitty-kats.  As most of you know I had back surgery, this is my brace with JAC.  JAC likes to get into any box and I guess the brace qualifies.......

Smokey, is very much like a dog.  He follows me around.  He likes to get up on the back of this chair when I am sitting in it (my office).  Then he plays with my hair. 

Hope all is well on your end.
