Deep sigh, Sharon just left, seeing as my niece (19 yrs.) decided to sleep in till noon Sharon came but left the puppy home. People from Minnesota will fly in on the 22nd to pick the pup up..sure are dog lovers to come that far.

Sharon got here just after 10am, said her car took her on a detour, of course she went looking at properties and homes, want to sell and come move my way..realtor visited yesterday and told her she would list at $997,900.

Sharon just had new carpets put in Wednesday, repainted all the bedrooms, bought new furniture for the bedrooms and now has to decorate..today we worked on Nikki's room, we both smiled , a strip no bigger an 6" x 52" was what was left , a great guesstimate for sure seeing she is not a sew'er

Her goal was that I would get the roman blind done 105" long done and perhaps one window bench seat cushion 20"x54..lo and behold I got the 2 bench cushions done, the roman blind and there was enough fabric to do a pillow. hardest part was putting the piping on seeing as she bought such thick piping, could hardly get close enough to sew but I did.

She forgot to purchase tuft buttons for the bench cushion but she can do that on her own and didn't bring enough to stuff the 2nd bench cushion as she thought we'd never get it done..left happy as can be

omg that black/white quilt I did for mom almost went home with her, she wanted it so badly, told her one was mom's and the 2nd on Melanie's and if she wanted to come I'd teach her how to make it, didn't get a response. She has award winning quilts, applique and cross stitch which she hand quilts on her own so why she would want a pieced one is beyond me, even more so because she is not a fan of black/white.

Must say, took all the quilts, done and those needing quilting, all the placemats out of the totes, think Sharon was impressed.. thinks her big sister is special at least today lol couldn't think any less or I'd have stopped sewing

stopped raining, everything is so wet, just looked out, think I can get away with not cutting grass until Sunday, hope so.

don't even really cook supper seeing as Sharon went to the restaurant and got us 2 banquet burger dinners at about 1:00 so not hungry in the least so perhaps cereal will do.

might play a tad later with doing a block or so of the pinwheel to see if I want to make a quilt in that design or might just put my feet up..

before I lose this post will press send, have a dish of ice cream then come back and re-read all your posts and respond.
