Another Visitor

 

I didn't do a lot of sewing last week and may not have a lot of time this week. I did get a donation quilt top loaded, quilted and binding added. I used a gray thread on the top and did my usual meandering.

 I didn't make this quilt top. This is the third jelly roll race quilt I've come in contact with. I do not like this pattern. Every one I've seen is wonky. This one was a challenge because I think the person cut the strips themselves and did not cut them accurately. There is a little bit of bunching, and squaring it up afterward...well, I hope no one measures each side cause all four will have a different measurement.

This quilt makes me want to send Barb, my long arm quilter in California, a huge I'm Sorry card for all the wonky quilts I sent her and an even bigger Thank You card for the miracles she preformed on some of my wonky quilts. I could never do this as a profession.

I did a little bit of yard work this past week.

My peonies were in full bloom this week. The flowers are huge. I love the color. I have three plants in the backyard but both last year and this year only one plant has bloomed. Is there a secret to growing them?

This was my visitor.

Not the best picture - I shot it through the screen door. She stayed there for a couple of hours. When it got too hot she moved to the other side of the yard to lay under the dogwood tree. I shooed her off when she started nibbling on the tree. Bella slept through it all.
