Another Hot Day-8/22/2023
The title says it all, still no relief from the heat and still no rain. So you know where I have been, inside!! Actually we have had our morning coffee outside, not often but we have. And at dusk we have been able to sit out at times, if there is a breeze. Sitting here watching a hummingbird at the feeder right outside. We put out fresh food every couple of days. Which reminds me, need to make more today! We have pulled out a few geraniums- empty pots look better than those with dead plants!
I have managed some sewing as well as cleaning-need to do a lot more of each but am slowly making headway. Have one top with backing set aside for Osie to quilt. And did get started on making blocks from my Two Rivers quilt. Pattern by Pat Speth. It’s a scrappy quilt and using batiks. I need 24 of each block. Think this one will be a keeper!
Also made 5 more blocks for my Strips and Strings quilt. Good progress on that one. Using that as my beginning and ending when I need to remove my Two Rivers blocks from my machine. Or leaders and enders as most quilters call those pieces. It’s a great way to get another bunch of blocks or parts of blocks done. Will share a picture of my strip and strings progress later. Am really enjoying scrap quilting right now.
Did make a really good Chinese chicken dish last night. Honey Sriracha Chicken. Will definitely keep that recipe. It is from the site. www. Creme de la Crumb
Lady says it’s too hot to be out for long so she will watch the squirrels from inside.
For some eye candy and to see what other quilters are making go to
Until next time have a great rest of the week!
