Yay! I got done with the crosshatching and SID.  Some of it could be better, but at this point, I’m just happy to be done with it.  A better woman than me might have picked some of it out and redone it, but I’m not that woman.  This quilt is going to go on my bed, not the into the Smithsonian.  I’m pretty happy with it, thus far.  We’ll see how stenciling goes next.  I won’t bore you with pics yet…looks pretty much like the crosshatching I already showed you.

Sorry, not much time for blogging…I’m too busy crosshatching.  I estimate that I have about three hours left til I’m done with that part.  Then, all the straight line quilting will be done…including the SID.  That’s when the fun part gets to start…stencils…and feathers….I can’t wait to get there!  I have almost 18 hours into it, sew far. 😉

Yesterday, I finished the quilting on my customer’s butterfly quilt.  She said she liked it.  I sure hope so.  She is planning on putting it in an area show.  It isn’t a judged show, but has viewer’s choice awards. 

I got some of my planting done yesterday.  Since I can’t have real hens & chicks, I planted some. 🙂

I planted some herbs in my pots this year.  So far, I have dill, parsley and cilantro growing in my herb garden, in the corner of my yard.  Have to have some dill & parsley for the swallowtails.  In my pots, I have some dill, basil, mint, and oregano.  I need some more dirt, and want to put some rosemary & thyme in a couple of pots.

I planted some vinca, and my cherry tomatoes.

My son went to the junior/senior prom last night.  He borrowed his Aunt Lisa’s little red sports car, to “arrive” in.  Family members gather at the high school to watch the kids drive up and get out.  They either have a driver, or drive themselves and have a family member waiting to hop in and drive off, after they get out and make their entrance.  All the kids get their pictures taken in front of their “ride”.  There was everything from antique cars, old clunkers, fancy sports cars, and even an old ambulance.  One kid came in a motorcycle.  Of course, there were some rented limos, etc., also.  It was fun.

Here he & his friend are lined up, waiting for their turn to drive up.

When I was in school, it was a big deal not to have a “date” for prom, but here, most of the kids go with friends.  The majority, it seemed, were not with dates.  I think that’s pretty cool…they just go and have a good time.  There were carloads of all girls, or guys, or mixed groups of friends.  Some with dates, some without. 

As far as stash reporting, nothing going on there to report.  No changes.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms reading.  This one is off to do some laundry.

when there are so many thing on the list that need done?! A quick run down of things that all need some attention this weekend.

First, today is “dirt day”.  Hubby is taking me to buy bags of dirt for my pots, and some plants if I want…maybe I will just plant herbs in them this year.  So there is that project.  I need to finish the customer quilt on the machine.  That will definitely get some time and attention.  My son is going to the junior/senior prom tonight.  I will be taking pictures of him.  I drained the hot tub last weekend, and need to work on the cleaning & refilling of that.  My little dog, Lulu, need a bath and some trimming.  The cat needs some grooming.  The house & laundry ALWAYS need some attention.  Hmmm…wonder how much of that I will get accomplished?  Wish me luck and lots of energy! Have a great Saturday! I must get dressed and go dirt shopping.  DH is waiting!
