On for tonight

Well I wrote my blog last night and forgot to publish it. It is now up so don't forget to read two blogs tonight. Yesterday's was short so it won't be a huge commitment of time.

So today was my Tuesday sewing group. I only went to the morning one as Richard is leaving, has left, to go home and I wanted to be here when he left. He will be driving himself as Ricky is staying for some work in Abbotsford. It makes me nervous that Rick is alone but he seems to be fine with that. I hope his trip goes okay. I worry so much I know but then isn't that what a mother does. His legs are useless to him now so he depends a lot on his arms to get home where he wants to go like off the couch and onto the chair and vice versa.  It was good though to have him here for the week . I am happy about that. He is so upbeat about it all , much more so than I am. I think  Rick had a good visit and I know he really loved seeing the granddaughters and his daughters as well.
Memories are made if this and I hope his are as good as mine are.

Back to the sewing day, I was doing hearts again. It appears that several of us are appliqueing hearts these days. I think it is because we have no other plans on the plate and hearts are such an easy thing to do and to carry anywhere.
Betty Lu has finished her Baltimore Album, actually it is her second Baltimore Album. She was adding the sleeve today and Pat was doing the same for her beautiful quilt that I showed last week.
It was a productive day at the church. :))
This lovely fairy quilt top is Sharon's. A lovely and imaginative use of pre printed squares.

Did you see where this man in Surrey Harry Black bought two tickets on the lottery with the same numbers and he won on both of them, 15,.8 million on each ticket. He said he has no family. Imagine no one to share the money with. Ray says not to worry he'll have some company  LOL.

My granddaughter Chelsea , on the right, playing her saxaphone with a friend. She has her own band out there in the east at Humber University in Ontario.

Basket Puzzle block. Four little baskets set in the corners of the block. It is kind of nice don't you think?
 
Many tutorials  here for fun and profit LOL.
 
For those of you who like to knit dishcloths here is a
pattern for the most simple one.
 
And here is one I just crocheted and that I use for the bathroom sink to clean up the wet spots. Still need to sew in the ends.
 
Nice block. I like this sewing machine block. Great neutral background fabric.
 

 
Aren't these little ones beautiful.
So it is time for dogs or cats. We'll see what comes up.
 
hmm not a dog or cat but Quails that visit my friend David and Gail's yard every year. I have seen them when I was down in Arizona. David outs a big block of seed out for them. He likes having visitors. I think he said they were Gambrels' Quail.
 


There , dogs and cats in one photo. These two are friendly.
Time is up folks.
Have a great evening.
Good night!
