Quilt Completed

I was busy a couple of weeks ago on sewing.  I finished a small quilt.


It is not so Florida-y, but it is always fun to throw a quilt together.  This was a manageable size for practicing the quilting on my machine.

    I bet that will keep you warm on those chilly non-Floriday nights!

    I DO see a bit of blue in there. I like seeing what you create.

    I am impressed. That is a cool looking quilt and looks great for a Florida chill.

    When I have sewn things and I look back on them, I find the memories of the time I made the item come flooding back. You get both warm and memories.

    That's interesting. No one in my family that I know of ever made a quilt although my grandmother did leave a single nine patch square in her things.

    I have never tackled any quilting larger than a table mat. Maybe someday.

    Very nice! My mom was a quilter, perhaps I'll give it try. Though I'm not sure I'd have the patience.

    I know a number of quilters and I don't get the pull of the hobby, but I love the finished products.

      I didn't get it for a long time either, but now I find it a kick to complete one.

    Every Monday the quilters are at our senior center. I am so tempted to join them but fear I would mess up all their wonderful work. You are truly an artist.

    I have only ever made one small one when I was younger and felt pride in doing such things. Now my eye sight is weak and I've lost some of my zeal.
    You are doing an excellent job with your machine.

It's TIme

 It's been a while since I have posted anything and even my reading your posts is falling by the wayside. I am in Florida now. I have a yard where little attention was spent on landscaping for the past years so I am slowly and (somewhat) methodically addressing that. I also volunteer to work at the pollinator garden and the edible garden I helped install at the UU grounds and I took over the volunteer job of cleaning out the overgrown community garden by my neighborhood mailboxes. The neighbor who was doing that got sick and could no longer attend to it. It's a bigger job than I'd thought at first -- not only overgrown with weeds, but the plants that are wanted there are in life and death competition for each others' spaces. And two walks a day, morning and evening, so Levi can keep up with addiction to canine social media and a daily rousing came of stick or ball midday take up another chunk of my time. I have a weekly meditation group that I co-facilitate, and my own

New Furniture

 We went shopping for a new couch. I liked this one, the first store we went to. Of course it would be an impulse to buy the first one so we trekked around to other stores -- something we liked more, a better deal? No surprise that we ended up going back to that first store the next day and purchasing that couch for our living room. Also a matching love seat for the den where we watch TV. Because I had replaced my old love seat with two recliners. We couldn't keep three households worth of furniture after all. Well, my recliner was not big enough to accommodate both Levi and me. Poor boy had to watch TV from his bed on the floor. There! This is much better! Spoiled much? The little tail on the floor belongs to his toy squirrel, Buddy. It's like having a toddler with the need to be picking up toys or risk tripping over them. But his very favorite play thing is that bathmat that can be found anywhere but the bathroom floor.

Walking

 I have always been a walker. Now that I have a high energy dog there is no excuse for not getting out there. And the weather is not an interfering factor here. Early morning and early evening are our preferred times so even when it gets hot we should be okay. We can get quite a long walk going around the neighborhood, greeting neighbors out working in their yards or walking their own dogs. But the landscape changes quickly just beyond the confines of the housing developments. It could be described as natural Florida or as sites of future housing developments. I do prefer the first option. And I really enjoy being out in natural areas so I often opt to head to a nature setting. I would have liked to put a picture here. Unfortunately my iPhone has made a unilateral decision. It will no longer be sending my photos to my computer. Why? I have no idea. However, we may be walking along happily enough -- me listening to the birds or trying to identify wildflowers and other plants while Levi
