Still trying to decide if I want a 12 in the middle and or Seahawk’s logo. This is just put together in rows and not yet pressed, so I can still make minor adjustments if necessary. Lest you think I dreamed this up, let me give you the pattern information. It is “Score” by Julie Luoma. I have linked to it with the word score. It would be a terrific quilt with any team. And if you watch Joann’s you can often get the 60″ team fabric on sale.
In addition to this, it was photo day for the alpacas. We are downsizing the animals at least for the rest of this year.
Early, I watered everything except the strawberries, garlic and potatoes (DH does those in the evening. Then we went to the farmer’s market, where we bought 2 more half flats of strawberries, some celery, yellow zucchini and tomatoes. I do enjoy the farmer’s market, but so far this year, I have only found one farmer that is not using treated seeds. I don’t need that insecticide in my body.
After lunch, I did some proof reading for my brother’s new book which will go to the printer this week.
Yes, I know I haven’t finished either the table runner or the quilt, but I was anxious to get started on this new quilt . Besides, my studio is cool, so afternoons are a wonderful time to be there. I now have 50 of these triangle squares done. I like doing parts of the quilt ahead, so when I come to that area, I can just sew them in place.
These tiny, fragrant flowers are blooming on a plant start that I got from mother years ago. Do any of you know what it is?
Instead of wiping down all the cabinets, I took a break to finish this picnic table runner flimsy. I will tidy up all the extra threads and it goes into my quilting stack.
This is Beau, hard at work. He tells Lacey what the problem is with his various barks and she knows to chase down the invader or ignore him. She is down there with the sheep.
Today was slow. We finished cleaning the last 20# of strawberries. I took my daughter grocery shopping as she just moved into a new place. She wanted to go to several places, which took more time. I came home and we had a large salad for lunch and then rested for awhile. We don’t have air conditioning and I think the heat slows us down.
When it cooled off, we fertilized the tomatoes and what other plants are still alive in the hoop house. It hasn’t done well, which I think is partly because we have had temperature issues and partly because with my knee issue, it has been semi-neglected. I am just really happy we have a Sunday market that I can purchase products to fill in the gaps. The tomatoes, however, are happy and have lots of little green tomatoes on them. We should have a good crop. The potatoes have died back, so I should go looking underground and see what is there. We only planted about 20 feet for an early harvest. The rest we planted outside and I am hoping they are doing better.
When one can’t get it all done, it’s best to just be thankful for what one can do. There’s always next year, right?
