friday report

another week nearly gone and settling into a sort of routine sans vehicle...not happy about it but there it is.  on the sewing front, miss sunny up and running again with a new belt...

purring along as usual....love this machine....keeps me close to my beloved mom...and may blues sewing continues with a scrappy project that needs to move along....

it's a pattern by amanda jean nyberg i've used before, a great scrap buster.  for this one i've pulled all my blue batiks.  pattern calls for 36 blocks but may end up with 30, depending on how long the blues hold out.

for a wee color detour, sewed up this summery runner that'll be gifted to dear daughter...long ago she spied the lobsters and asked for a runner....fast forward to now and it's a flimsy, soon to be machine quilted, bound and gifted.  time gallops along and i am trying not to leave things undone.  

we always knew dear brother was way ahead of the pack, and here he is circa 1962 with a prototype cell phone!  somebody contact the patent office!!!

and last but most important, my belmont baby, dear daughter, is celebrating another birthday saturday and again on race day!  i've told her many times how i delayed my hospital run until the horse race was over!  here she is at her first birthday...still adorable and so very precious!

keep cool and quilt on!
