Good progress is being made on the orchard
DH and I got the fence up on Wednesday
My shoulders and hands were toast on Thursday
but our son was out again so they got it stretched and hung the gate DH made.
I helped some more - mostly as a fence-holder-upper and puller. Then I trotted back to the house (just 1/2 a mile) and put together a Taco Pizza for dinner. (an old picture from when I first shared the recipe)
Special K Cookies for dessert
And then I treated myself to some time in my sewing room. I am making progress on the pink quilt for little E. She did a good job picking pinks from my stash.
I sewed and pressed and trimmed 100 flying geese (started them on Tuesday and worked on them some Wednesday, finishing them on Thursday). Then I cut everything for the 4-patches and started piecing those on Thursday.
E and Skeet and I drove down to supervise the boys on Friday.
And to inspect their work. E exclaimed it to be excellent!
And more sticks were added to the mountain of trees DH cleared
Then, back at the house, I was hoping to get all the blocks together, but looking at the pattern, it emphasizes that this design is not block based. Instead, it is constructed in rows. Oye. E is excited to help so I saved some of the 4-patches for her and let her pair them up and run them through the machine as she sat on my lap.
Then she wanted some paper to write her own 'structions' for her next quilt so there's hope. 😉
Heard in the sewing room:
Gram: Oh, I've lost track of time! We'd better get crackin!
E: Oh, I wanna help crackin!
😂
