Apples for the teacher

This makes a great potholder. I made one once and it was fun to do. So if you have a few hours to spare and want to make something cute to give as a gift or make for the guild bazaar at the quilt show, here's your chance. 

I think the apple for the teacher just tempted him too much!

This was my sewing day . I had some real trouble with my legs today, they were so shaky and so were my arms, that I only went to one of my groups. It was of course the morning one LOL. And I continued to applique hearts along with Betty, Helen, Sharon and Joan. A lot of heartful ladies in our group today. The group was fairly large today and so we had lots of conversation and good humour.  
Pat picked me up and we went for Starbucks. I had not made anything for my lunch so bought it at Starbucks. It was a sandwich. There was a great bakery counter and they carry wonderful sadnwiches but they cost over $7.00 so I thought I'd buy one at Starbucks as it was just a bit over $6.00 I should have bought the $7.00 one. I'll know better another time. Money isn't everything!!
As I was not at my best this morning I came home with Pat instead of going to Community Quilts. However I had brought some fat quarters of reptiles for CQ and asked Betty to take them to the group for me. I thought they would make a nice quilt for a boy. You know how boys like reptiles .... Yeah Right!! 

I lay down and read for  a bit after I came home. Then Ray wanted to go to Hop On's for some produce. We went but I have to say since they sold the business the produce is not quite as good and the people were actually rude. We picked up and went to The Crossings to the produce store there. They had good stuff , were friendly and we'll buy there from now on.
We came home and washed all the things we bought . I cut and washed the radishes since Marg finished them off yesterday LOL. It's a joke Marg!   Looks good though.

I sprayed the lettuce and washed the apples, then Ray finished off the rest.

These quilts are so gorgeous. I once went to Sequim for a quilt show where they had a wonderful

section of Crazy Quilts. They were absolutely inspiring. I wish I could see those types of quilts again. It was the only quilt

show I saw that had a Crazy Quilt  section.

Gorgeous black Calla Lillies at Mr. Ho's these are new to me.

Other lovely Calla Lillies.

These are Ray's most recent orchids. They are now in full bloom. 

Rose at the far right along with here little friends checking out the puppies. It looks like they are in a pet shop.

Isn't this long pillow gorgeous, it looks like applique and embroidery. 

It is time for me to go folks.

Have a great evening.

Good night!!
