Scrappy Trips Goal Met

… as a Quilter
I set a goal for August to get my “Scrappy Trips” quilt top all pieced and ready to be quilted.

I’m glad now to have met that goal and I have even started the quilting process.

Gabriel & Dana and Scrappy Trips Quilt

Life ...

We invited our family along with a few friends in for a pizza supper last Saturday evening...

...and had a grocery shower and small reception to help Gabriel and Dana set up housekeeping.

While the adults visited the children played church on the stairs.

Talya found a sitting place inside the stool instead of on the stool.

I’m still working on my “Scrappy Trips” quilt. The center is all finished now so all it needs yet is a border and then I’ll be ready to quilt it.

We had our regular PTQ meeting on Saturday. Here are a few quilts from the Show & Tell.
Judy finished her “Star Spin” quilt that she started in a class with my sister Barbara.

These ladies took a class with Watana to make these fused art quilts.

Harvest and Quilting Goal

Life …

Angie & Tina came over for a while last evening and brought her grapes along. I helped her pull them off the clusters to get them ready for her to make juice.

Tina thinks it’s so fun to stand on a chair up at the sink with water to help her mama.

I rode one lap, (Well, not even a lap, more like one swath.)  in the combine cutting corn with Paul, Ashton, and his Dr. Pepper.

I don’t understand how Paul knows what button to push or lever to pull at the right moment.

The hopper on the combine is full. There is a rotating beacon that warns the person with the grain cart when the hopper is 3/4 full and then when it’s all the way full, saying “come and get it!”

Paul talks with the farm hands, Jamie and Jerry.

Ashton found my nut grinder and wondered what it was and how it worked. So we decided he could grind corn instead of my expensive pecans.

I’m setting a goal to get my “Scrappy Trips” (you have to scroll down to the bottom of the post) all pieced and the top ready for quilting by the end of August.
