Lots of stitching going on!


Finished this top today!
All those 2 inch squares worked into something pretty nice.
I hope the person I made it for likes it.
The back is nearly ready to go as well,
then it'll be on to sandwich and quilt!
Perhaps I'll have it finished in the next week?

The last two days were just horridly hot and humid.
The nights brought major thunderstorms,
leaving many without power.
Not here in Greenwood though,
Although it did rain enough to wash the starling nest out of the gutters!
Last night's storms came with a cool front dropping us out of the 90's!
Huzzah!!
All the heat and with issues still remaining from asthma-
I tried Kolby's baseball game on Wednesday (it was a great game, they won) 
but it was a no go as far as enjoying the out of doors!
Call to the doctor resulted in a new prescription but
the pharmacy is awaiting insurance approval.
(When did insurance company employees-who didn't go to medical school-get to dictate medical care?  I find that annoying.)
BUT,  all the inside time led to the above top being finished.

I also worked in the garage, sigh, will it never end?
and began pulling up carpet.
I think taking out the carpet will help with the allergies and it's original to the house.
So some 25 years old.
You would not believe the dirt under it!
That's another project that will be with me a while.

What a lovely quilt - it's almost sparkling like jewels. Have you read that thunderstorms affect asthma? It was in the news here a few months ago after there was a spike in hospital admissions during some big thunderstorms. It's ridiculous that a desk-johnny has the right to approve/deny a medication ordered by a doctor. I bet that carpet was pretty dreadful - especially after 25 years. Yukk!
