It is a scorcher today

Right now it is 92° cloudy and windy. There are watches out but not here.

I wanted to show everybody the signature quilt that was put together by Gardenpat at HGTV. These were blocks made last year for the luncheon at her house the week of the NQS show. I won the drawing and she gave it to me the other day at the new luncheon. It is about as long as a sofa and she quilted it on her longarm.
I had my yearly physical today and am glad that is over for another year. I have had this Dr. for about 14 years she is the same age as my DD.  I feel like I can tell her anything and that is a good thing.
I can't stand really hot weather but I guess there is no choice in the matter. The humidity is really the problem it saps everything out of you.
I made a pan of brownies this morning with a recipe I found on Cooks.com. That is a pretty neat place.
My DH has been weorking on a lawnmower he bought from a kid for only $40. He has had to get some parts for it but it started right up. It is only 3 years old. The kid just about wrecked it. LOL
Have a wonderful day

Friday's news....

Thought I would catch up with things around here.
Yesterday I did get to go to the quilt show at the convention center downtown and also the luncheon at Gardenpat's house on the east side. Here are the ladies and all of the wonderful food we had. Another group was coming in today.

The show was very crowded especially in the vendors area. I only bought a panel but my friend Jen got quite a few items for her little Etsy businesses. Next is a wonderful quilt with the spider web and spider. The next one was so pretty with lots to look at.

It has been so warm and not too humid until today. But there is a bad air warning.

Have a great weekend

Wet Saturday....

Well it's raining again and that is bad news for the Memorial golf tournament a few miles from here. I guess they get used to getting dumped on every year.
I have been busy designing a cute pin cushion for my partner at Block Central
I saw a photo on a website and decided to make one without a pattern so far so good. I will show it after I mail it this week.

I made my cherry dessert this morning. It is a just made up recipe that I have made with 1 1/2# of tart cherries I get frozen at Meijer's.  I don't have any ice cream to have with it just some CoolWhip . It will have to do.

I received this cute pillow from my online friend Lillian yesterday for my birthday which is next week.  I was so surprised she knew about it. I hung it on the front door and it looks cute there for everyone to see. DD is coming today and we will have lunch and she can have some dessert too. When she was a kid about 13 she got very picky about what she ate.  But now she just eats what ever I serve her. That is a great relief to me.
My friend who is selling her house bought a condo yesterday but she is not going to move until she sells the house she is living in now. I hope it all works out for her and there are no hidden problems in the new place. She has something to look forward to now.
I am in another Secret Pal swap at the Board and  I had better get to buying some stuff to mail to her. She lives in Louisiana. I hope they get that oil problem cleaned up soon what a big mess that is.
Have a great weekend
