Ok so I am a week late……..

I will start this Friday with a flimsy.  It was made with a Moda Scrap bag that contained Oh Cherry Oh fabric ( If you were to make it now, you would need to scrap bags though.) and kona snow for the white.  I made up the pattern myself so I can’t send you anywhere for that sorry.

I can’t wait to quilt this one as I intentionally left room for some fancy quilting.

The other thing I wanted to share last week was the fruits of my labor at the apple orchard.  On Thursday, I made 5 batches of crab apple jelly.   MMMMMMMMMM good!

It is made from these, Dolgo Crab Apples

I was pooped out last week, as I had to get used to standing all day and working.  When I quilt I alternate between standing and sitting.  Then with all the standing, I ended up with an infection in my leg again.  I am half done with the antibiotics and I am wearing my stocking for support.

 

Now, onto this week.  Dusty went back to school this week Tuesday.  I bet you all felt the earth movin’ with me jumping up and down.  He was excited too.  He insisted that Abby get in on the picture taking.

The picture seems a little empty without Cody in it.  Somehow I am going to have to get a picture of him in his Chef uniform to post.  He is busy at Le Cordeon Blue in the twin cities, with his culinary arts studies.  A fellow class mate posted a pic of him on face book, I might just have to copy that to show you.

Now this weeks quilting found me multitasking.   Quilting two table runners at the same time on the longarm.

I happen to have 6 table runner/wallhanging size projects for this customer to do.  The one backing piece was big enough for both to fit on so instead of cutting and loading 2 projects.  I just loaded the backing once and put both tops on.  This morning I loaded a quilt my mother made.  It is from  the Minnesota quilt shop hop fabric from this year.  That fabric she both in August of this year.  She sure is a speedy piecer.

Well thanks for sticking it through this long post.  It was alot of days to cover.  Have a very safe ans happy labor day weekend!
