Happy Friday (Ok Thursday Night) folks!!!
It has been a week!! I have been single ranching, single dogging, and single cooking all week. And then my Husbands flight was cancelled so he won't be back till Friday... which is why I am posting tonight... I have to do chores again (all by myself - I think I need fabric therapy!)
But since is awful close to the end of the month - I want to get what I have photographed!! And that way I can pretend!!! And guess what the color for July will be?
It has been hot here - so I am up at 4 getting things done, but Wednesday night we had rain ( yay) so this morning it was SO humid.... I have pretty curly hair in humidity. I had a guy delivering gravel this morning and I didn't get a chance to put a hat on before he arrived... he told me I looked like a soaked poodle - Wouldn't that be a sight???
Can you tell I have been on my own for a bit? I have a LOT more words to use !!
Show us what you have been up to this week!!!
and visit lots of others !!

Patriotic Panel is beautiful! Someone is going to be thrilled to receive this quilt. Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteThat was fun post to read. Sorry your husband’s flight got delayed. Wishing him a safe journey back home. Thanks so much for hosting.

great quilt
ReplyDeleteFabulous panel in a fantastic quilt!
ReplyDeleteWet poodle? ;-) Until yesterday we had a very hot and humid week. My whole body has been drenched. No curly hair though!
Sounds like you've had a crazy week! Hope your hubby is home soon and life gets back to normal. That patriotic panel quilt is fabulous - I was trying to figure out how the star blocks are made - they make a great design!
ReplyDeleteThat turned out great. I have a whole stack of that same Split Back Star block made by members of our local QOV group. Hadn't even considered using with a panel. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI just LOVE what plaid do for a quilt. You always have some to use. Nice.
ReplyDeleteGoing the ranch route alone is not much fun. Hopefully Your Guy will reward all your hard work with a nothing but sewing day for you? Hope he makes it back for the weekend.
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed at all that you accomplish. Your patriotic finish is wonderful! I like your blue scrap challenge progress and there is always another day to have a finish. As for the poodle comment. . .he must know you well to venture such words!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness, that's a lot to be responsible for on your own. I hope your husband's flight makes it in today and that frees up more of your time for quilting!
ReplyDeleteHi Alycia, that's too bad about all of those extra chores. I hope that you do get some sleep but fabric therapy is also great :-) Take care.
ReplyDeleteHang in there. Stay cool. Drink more water. Peanut butter sandwiches are good for single "cooking".
ReplyDeleteThe quilts are wonderful. Thank you for sharing.

Fantastic finishes even with the extra work on the ranch! You rose to the occasion!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quilt, Alycia!! You'll finish those BLUE Rails up eventually. They will wait patiently.
ReplyDeleteLove how your panel turned out. Those stars make such an interesting background to the panel. Great job. Hope hubby is home and sharing in the chores. The weekend is coming so maybe some extra fabric therapy time.
ReplyDeleteLove the border surrounding the panel. The perfect POV quilt.
ReplyDeleteYour RWB quilt is just gorgeous...sorry for all the singling and the delayed flight. It is ok for some alone time but you have so much to do! I am sure it all feels better now and maybe a little more time to work on your blues!
ReplyDeleteGlad you were able to get your star quilt done, it is beautiful. Panels can be so hard to use, but that setting is perfect. Hope you get some help with the chores soon. Husbands are good for so many things...
ReplyDeleteBummers that Hubby will be delayed (well not as of the posting of this comment) but kudos to you for getting an early start on FONF. I on the other hand am running late! Love that panel quilt setting -- definitely going in the "QOV Ideas" file! Funny my MIL also just pieced a blue and white squares top. I did cut some blocks for RSC but did I sew them? Nope! Maybe in July....
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty patriotic quilt. Pretty blue & white blocks too. Hope you didn't overworked yourself when you were alone. Fabric therapy, indeed, you need it! Have a great July 4th!
ReplyDeleteOh Alicia -- what a week you're had and on it goes, right? Stay strong and keep on quilting. That patriotic one is beautiful and RSC will not be going away anytime soon so keep at it. Soaked poodle? Looking good! ;-)
