Fortunately, my shoulder hurting subsided yesterday, as well as I was able to complete upward most everything I had planned. The planning happened earlier the pain, as well as thence at that spot was a footling to a greater extent than than I wanted to attempt. Still as well as all, I finished a practiced fleck of it.

First, I finished the ninth of 12 of the Snow Globes blocks. This 1 is called "Cottage."


This beingness Sunday, I'll go linking upward to


The lighting inward my sewing room makes it difficult to teach really practiced pictures of these, but hither are the nine I possess got finished thence far.


After that, I needed to do only about cooking. I prepared dinner for only about guests we're having a calendar week from now. Since we're going to go camping ground side past times side week, I wanted to possess got it finished ahead of time. I made this Turkey as well as Artichoke Stuffed Shells alongside Arrabbiata Sauce. It's a fleck of a production to pose it together, but it makes plenty nutrient for an army. I filled 1 xiii x nine baking dish alongside stuffed pasta shells as well as sauce, as well as and thence at that spot was plenty for only about other 8 x 8 baking dish of stuffed pasta shells as well as sauce. Now, both are inward the freezer. I'll brand the larger 1 for our guests, as well as Mike as well as I volition salvage the smaller 1 for only about hereafter date.

Also, I made the mix for only about Cantaloupe Ice Cream. We ever teach melons inward our CSA shares for a few weeks out of the season. They're the best melons I've ever eaten. Farmer Jess posted this recipe, as well as it looked actually good. So I mixed it upward as well as and thence allow it sit down inward the fridge to cool until afterwards inward the day. When I churned it upward at the halt of the day, it looked similar this:


We had it for dessert spell nosotros watched TV, as well as it was actually good. I left the cantaloupe a footling fleck chunky, but I recall I'd teach for a to a greater extent than pureed version side past times side fourth dimension around.

When the cooking was all done, I finished upward the concluding 3 blocks for the 5th row of the Shop Hop quilt. This root 1 was from a actually squeamish store inward Pacific Grove, California. You tin give the axe honor the spider web presence for Back Porch Fabrics Point Pinos lighthouse,


as well as thence this textile alongside bounding main waves rolling inward seemed only right. You tin give the axe read my weblog postal service close it right here. There were thence many pretty fabrics inward that shop, I had a difficult fourth dimension getting out the door without buying the identify out. Even equally I stood to purchase my fabrics, I kept leaving the register as well as grabbing to a greater extent than off the shelves.


The side past times side 1 was from Quiltique inward Henderson, Nevada. We were making a circuitous road domicile from Mike's retirement celebration at the Corvette School. Traveling through Boulder City, nosotros visited Hoover Dam, as well as and thence spent a twosome of days enjoying the area. I was fortunate to teach a jeopardy to come across upward alongside Heidi of Red Letter Quilts at Quiltique. (Looks similar Heidi has been MIA on her weblog for a while, although I possess got seen her on Instagram lately.) Anyway, we'd been enjoying the blooming cactus all along the way, as well as thence I chose this fabric.


As for the quilt shop, y'all tin give the axe read my weblog postal service close it (and come across Heidi) right here. While there, I institute the perfect textile for the backing on this quilt.


The quilt is thence much larger than I ancitipated, I'm only hoping I possess got plenty now. Just equally I wrote those words, I went inward search of more. I was able to honor it online, as well as thence directly I possess got a huge quantity. I'll in all probability go able to brand to a greater extent than than 1 quilt from it. Quiltique appears all the same to go inward business, as well as y'all tin give the axe honor its spider web presence right here.

Finally, this 1 from Organ Mountain Quilt Shop inward Las Cruces, New Mexico. We've passed through Las Cruces thence many times inward our travels. On this 1 trip, I managed to brand it visits to 3 unlike shops. Las Cruces lies at the human foot of the Organ Mountains, as well as it is a beautiful area. You tin give the axe honor my weblog postal service close it right here. (I'd exclusively been blogging close vi months when I wrote it.) This textile made me recall of Mexican pottery, as well as that's why I chose it. It was long earlier I had an persuasion to brand this quilt. Unfortunately, this store is no longer inward business, which is a shame because it was a squeamish footling shop.


Okay, thence I had the row sewn together, as well as and thence I sewed it to the balance of the quilt. Here's what I possess got thence far.


There are all the same 24 to a greater extent than fabrics (3 rows) to complete earlier the quilt is finished. My goal is to complete a row each month.

The exclusively other affair that happened yesterday was Mike hanging our novel "Welcome to Our the Cat's Home" sign at the forepart door. Love it.


Today I'll involve to brand a quick trip to the grocery store, as well as and thence start packing nutrient for our trip side past times side week. The former RV goes away this morning, as well as and thence Mike volition motility the novel 1 (I'll possess got to halt calling it "new" now) upward closer to the identify for packing. Tomorrow morn we'll pack our wearing clothing as well as and thence we'll possess got off for a few days of forced relaxation. I don't know if I'll go blogging spell we're away. The laptop is going alongside us, but it ever depends on whether nosotros possess got meshwork access. Time volition tell.

As for tomorrow, I'll go dorsum alongside a postal service for


Are y'all entering a quilt? I decided to dig into the archives for tomorrow's entry. More to come upward on that.
