It seems that I have no gotten around to posting for a very long time, more than a month, I think the longest I have ever gone without posting since I started this blog.
So, sewing-I've got another quilt ready to bind, just waitng for it to come back from the quilter, will make the binding tonight. Have finally figured out how to quilt my red wall hanging started in Escanaba with the quilting buddies and finished in 'Muth. It'll be heavily quilted and masterpiece #2-one of the ones that says-a quilter lives here. I've got the stencils -so just need to mark it and get some brown quilting thread and then I can sit quietly in the corner for the next two years and amuse myself. Then, I've started a new sister's choice out of a tan on tan and reproductions prints.
Too bad work and life get in the way.
All sorts of car adventures lately. We went up to West Branch on a beautiful fall day to see Esky play in the play-offs. Of course, they blew it. Somethings never change. (Side story: after moving out of Esky 14 1/2 years ago, I swore that there wouldn't be a soul there who recognized me. (except for coach Flynn of course.) As we climed into the stands, I got attacked from behind. JAN!!!!- It was Debbie, Barb's step daughter and one of the girls' former babysitters. She's all grown up now, married to one of the coaches, with kid's in Franklin.) On our way home, Dave fell immediately asleep. I was listening to the radio and heard an ad for a big sale in Bay City. I took a side trip, pulled into their parking lot and Dave found exactly the car he wanted, a PT cruiser who's only fault is it's color(silver.) It was amazing to watch him neogotiate. He only used his eyes. He talked the salespeople who were as slippery as they come down six thousand.
The next day, the transmission fell out of my car, so we are both very poor right now.
Okay, I'm guessing more has happened in six weeks but I'll write more later.
