SLOW TUESDAY----

It was my Anne's day to be here again!!
We both worked on some hand quilting for an hour or so and then went to walmart--got some Turkey and rolls and 2 donuts and came back here and had lunch!!!!


Then I quickly "gathered" up the dirty laundry and headed to the laundry room and did 2 big loads of washing---
SO--not alot of sewing or quilting got done today!!!
I did find one--just one snapdragon in my garden today while I was waiting for the dryer ---I used to have alot of them come up every year--but another resident here took it upon herself to "clean" up the flower bed early this spring and she must of pulled them all up!!!!!
And I found this little rose in one of the gardens still blooming away!!!


this is what I am working on today---
hand quilting my Short Story--this is the design--
there are 49 blocks--
I have done 13 so far!!!
So have 36 yet to go--Plus the border!!!!!


So this post is short and sweet---

OH--I did finish reading another book last night--think that puts me at '21' read for this year so far!!!!!

WITH HUGS--

No laundry here today but I will need to do a load tomorrow so that I don't go to work naked lol.

I did a couple 12.5" blocks for a swap but really haven't finished too many projects lately.
