We have Sun

A beautiful Sunny day wishing I was home the' re a bunch of flower beds to be worked on. Yesterday with Fred helping one is cleared. Last summer nothing was done to them and they are full of quack grass. It is going to take some major work to clean them out. I think geraniums for the one that is cleared. Though I may change my mind yet on that

Do I or Don't I

Today a friend posted on Facebook a kit located at this web site Panel wall quilt

I am really drawn to this wall hanging but I have so many things to do as it is. So do you go ahead and get such a kit to work on down the road or do you let it go because right now the list of things to do is so long that you are not going to get it done as it is.

Is it an I want or an I need!  Yeah I know it is an I want but don't need but still.

What a battle that rages  in side

Sun and an auction

Well not picture today. Spent the day running back forth between home and an auction in the next block. Temptations was there I think they had like 7 treadle sewing machines and a lot more old phonographs. Including one or two that play the round cylinder style. They were in excellent condition but none of them came home with us. I did a starter bid of 10 dollars on a high boy type dresser and LOL it came home with me for that price. It was not in great shape but it is usable and has a mirror that is in good shape.
 
I am thinking about painting it white. The veneer is not in good shape it is chipped so will need to have some woody putty to fix it up and one of the drawer bottoms is not in great shape. I guess for $10.00 what can you expect.
 
Tomorrow I plan on going to a quilt show in Independence Iowa put on by the Calico Cut up Quilt guild. Since the weather sounds like it is going to turn cold and wet and yuck you a good way to spend the day.

Progress on the wall hanging

Moving forward on the outside border! Sure hope it fits.  Sorry not a very clear picture
I must of had the shakes
 

New Project

To day I have every thing gathered to work on a new wall hanging. I picked this pattern up in the Amanas last fall.  Found this fun fall panel to use with the pattern.  The today's project is to put borders around the panel that look like a lattice so I'll try and post more pictures as the day goes on. Something fun for a rainy day
