Down Stairs repair and renovation

Heading into the 9th week of having people banging away at my house, sometimes 7 days a week has been an experience that I believe only people who have been through it understand. I never realized that it is a joy to sit in your pj's in the morning. I am retired and I like wandering around a bit. I have one eye on the clock because the refrig is being moved across the new hardwood floor at 8:30 am.  During this period I have quilted more. I made a huge wedding quilt for the next nephew or niece who ties the know. I have done some art quilting, I decided the big Penobscot quilt is going to be quilt as you go and went back and quilted the 8 blocks.
The garden has died. I get a few veggies still, carrots, kale, beets, parsley.

November Rains

It is pouring out.  There is a slight chance it will turn to snow.  We head to Portland, Maine, which it two hours south of where we live. We are going to visit my favorite daughter.  After the frenzy of quilting the group only needs one  quilt from me. The two and a 1/2 I churned out will be added to the UFO pile. I will get photos in here soon.

Quilting for 4 days ..... 12 hours a day

I think my swim exercise class is paying off as I kept my sewing machine roaring from 7-7 daily.  I will take photos of what I accomplished today. I brought a bag of African safari fabric that only a child could love... The gorillas are particularly grouchy looking. The bag was bought for 35 dollars by a friend.  Much picking apart and redesigning resulted in a twin sized top ready for sandwiching.
Than I machine quilted two more quilts.  The final deal was take a bunch of strips and making another donation quilt.  I left my purse home... eek so no photos there....Here is a friends photo...
