I think this will be my last day of posting tulips...this was taken a few days ago... and the one below was taken a day or two later.

Even in death it is still beautiful.

I did my walmart run this morning.  I try to avoid Fridays as it seems more people are trying to miss the Saturday/Sunday crowd on Fridays.  I don't go real early...usually around 10:00...after Roger is up and settled with breakfast.

I have cut pieces for my little Boxed Squares blocks, but did not sew any.  My count is up to 416 made.  I am not sure I will make the 600 recommended for a full sized quilt, but I am pretty sure I will make at least 500.
************     Below is a video of the Avon Drumline....Lorelei plays the cymbals.  

 

 You can see the backdrops of the fingerprints her mom and put together.  See how we had to match the lines of the fingerprints.  At the end of the performance, they all drop.  If you go to youtube and expand the view, you get a much better view of it.

I forgot to post...

 I have been trying to do a post every other day....looks like even that is not going to be consistent.  Anyway, I had these shots to post...of my finished little quilted thing...

and below is the back again.

Notice the dark line at the top?  That is where I got a fabric scrap under the quilt and did not realize it...so sewed it to the quilt with the quilting.  I told Roger that is my signature...I don't think I have quilted a single thing without  doing that.  If it is for me, I leave it.  I just trim the excess away.  Funny thing is, I kind of like it.  

There are people that will layer several fabrics together and quilt a design.  Then maybe in one area, cut away the top fabric...and in another cut away two layers. and in another area cut away 3 of the layers.  It is definitely interesting.

Puzzle addictions

 Since Christmas I have really indulged in putting jigsaw puzzles together.  I cannot even begin to remember all the ones I have done.  And I have enjoyed every minute.  Most were 1,000 pieces with a couple that were only 750 pieces.  I keep one going almost all the time.  My daughter helps sometimes, and others it is mainly me. 

The one above is from Cross & Glory...I bought if on amazon...it is the third of theirs I have worked.  But their prices just go up and up.  But the pieces fit together so well.  After the puzzle is worked, so far can easily pick up the puzzle at the top and and it stays together.  The downside of that is that is when you want to box it up, you have to sit and take it apart, not quite piece by piece but almost.

They have some unique puzzles...some I don't like at all, but others I love.  And I delayed getting one that I really like and now neither Amazon not the company itself has it.

I have worked on the binding some today...I could probably have finished it if I had focused on it, but I am not in a super hurry...I just enjoy it so much.

Lorelei/the drumline is participating in the championship this weekend.  We just watched through a streaming app.  She has really enjoyed it.
