Fun Times

This blog post title is a bit tongue-in-cheek for 2020. Fun in 2020???  Although, it was rather fun to have a couple small finishes to show off.  Two of the ladies in my quilting group have birthdays this week, so I made a couple mug rugs from a pattern by Patchsmith on Etsy.  The directions were easy, but I should have noted the outside seam allowance when lining up those little flames. Take that as a tip if you try this pattern, too.

On a higher note, another fun thing this week was getting back up in the air. Not in my airplane (due to a dead-and-not-revivable battery), but with a generous friend who took me for a flight in his plane on Saturday. The weather was simply too beautiful to not enjoy some air time!  

Bearly Moving

Hello! We are still spending every weekend doing manual labor, gradually moving our hoard to the log home. We FINALLY finally finally have the end in sight. When it came time to clear out the little barn, I swore we were in the midst of an episode of “ Hoarders”. Hmmm, maybe I should have filmed our activities.

Because every weekend has been dedicated to THE MOVE, I have not had much time or energy to sew. Yet...I did find energy to start a new quilt. It’s a bear claw quilt to complement all those cute little black bears around and inside the log home. I’m using all those plaids I’ve been collecting.

Sewn under proper supervision, of course.
