Flooding and funerals:(

 Hi All,


Well the title says it all!

Mon when I went to ck to see when the Friday funeral would be I saw another friend Lois Vertrees ... my MIL BFF... had passed and visitation was Mon night and funeral on Tuesday. So we went to both.

Then the rain came... and came... and came! 7 1/2 in worth! And yes it still managed to come into the studio:( UGH!!! I am now considering getting rid of the pressed board cabinets I have and that are starting to disintegrate and getting some metal rolling shelves. Of course they would be open so would need to invest in tubs or curtain. But at least I wouldn't have to worry about the cabinets collapsing. Even the bookcase and thread cabinet are their last legs as we usually move them so we can get the water up. So the extra $ spent on concrete did nothing:(

Then Thursday we had memorial/visitation of a dear dear friend that hubby spent most of his teenage years at the house. It was a tearful memorial! The Mass was on Friday. Then to cemetery. Then a marvelous fly over by some of the daughter's friends... she just retired from American Airlines as Covid hit and asked some of her retired pilot friends if they could fly over. They agreed and got all the clearances and it brought a tear to everyone's eye! Then home to change and pu cake I had made and back to house and eat and visit. We left about 7 and were back yesterday to pu a birdbath as a remembrance of Carmen Miranda... the sweetness, kindness, loving woman I ever knew! She never met a stranger!

They say it comes in 3's so on Thursday found out the guy I worked with setting up election stuff passed away. Thought that was all but no...last night another family friend in Hospice and today a sweet Bee member will be heading to hospice soon:(  Will September ever end!

I did sneak in some quilting in between everything? Not sure how!

So on with pictures:

Finished Dolly's quilt:)

All quilting freehand and ruler work.

Love the way it turned out!

The feathers added SO much! A peek at the backing fabric.


Roseanne made this sweet baby quilt for a friend.

She wanted it custom so that was what I did:) 
Ruler work and a bit of Free motion.

Love the way it turned out also! Peek at the back:)

Did some machine embroidery today... the labels for the memorial items I have been working on. 
Also have a quilt loaded to start custom quilting tomorrow.
Hope to be home more this week?

Have an awesome week!
