Oh good heavens, Sue, I have been telling myself. Get back to it!

The past couple of months have been so busy at work that I come home every day and collapse with something mindless to fill the time until I get to go to sleep. Days off have been a frantic race to get caught up on the house, doctor appointments and other necessary trips to town. Finally I got what I really needed… 3 days off work in a row so I can get some rest and get caught up. I’m too old for working 5 days a week. Not only that but I am married to an old man (I do love older men) and he is a bit time consuming as well.

So, here I am and this is what I have been up to.

I was just getting this quilt started and here I am auditioning borders.

It is done at last. I just pulled it out of the dryer and took it out to hang up for a photo. We have not has any sun, to speak of, for days so this is the best I could do. I absolutely love the way it came out. This is for a soon to arrive grandchild. We do not yet know the sex of the dear one. The parents want to be surprised. I did have a dream though.... I have a feeling it will be a girl. If not I will really be surprised.

I love the texture, I only quilted the background and it made the stripes of the maze pop up. I used two layers of a low loft polyester batting that I had on hand. I wanted it to be soft and fluffy but not hot as it is headed for south Florida

The backing fabric was too narrow to fit so I used my scraps to make a filler stripe. I didn't have much left. I was planning an alternative corner fill in around the central motif that were some fan shapes but I like the partial maze in the corner better.

I am sure I will find something else to do with those fan blades I cut out.

Here we are at the final phase of the remodel on out son's trailer. 

I don't have any current pictures but he is moved in and happy as a clam. In other exciting news, he found a job at Snowbird Mountain Lodge and really likes it. He really needed something to do other than hang around with a couple of old farts like his parents. His boss is respectful of his disabilities as he is a veteran as well.

The view driving to work is as stunning as ever. I leave early every day. I have this thing about being late and consequently, if the fog permits in the morning I have two overlooks to stop and enjoy the view for a minute or two. 

When I stopped at the overlook to see the sunrise, I thought this was a much more interesting photo. Instead or joining them over at the edge I sat in the car and enjoyed them enjoying it as well. 

So now that I have primed the pump, so to speak, I need to take some more photos and show you some more stuff.

See you again soon!

Hugs, Sue
