A day at the Fair

I spent today doing my volunteer job at the Washington County (Idaho)Fair, in the morning I do the intake of flowers and then in the afternoon I follow the judge around and input the results. A long tiring day, but I got a picture of the piece I entered earlier in the week with a big fat ribbon on it.

Tomorrow I take hubby to Boise to meet with our surgeon and find out when surgery will be scheduled.

A glitch in our normal lives

My husband has been dealing with some health issues recently, we've been through one surgery and have another coming up that is yet to be scheduled. Since it is a problem that can't be handled at our local hospital, or with a local doctor we've been spending time driving to Boise and back. I'm trying to keep up with posting but if I'm missing for a week or two, that will be the reason. His prognosis is good, it's just all the Dr. visits and surgeries are time consuming, so we'll get through it.

I did a quilt top early this week that when finished will be a donation quilt. The aqua sashing is really quite light and bright, but looks grayed in photos.

Several Projects Progressing

I've been doing a bit of stitching on several projects this week, trying to get a couple of them done.

The cyanotype leaf quilt has finally spent some time with the sewing machine, I've got 3 of the 5 blocks done. Lots of circles in the blue background, probably hard to see but they are there.

I would like to get this done before next week and will probably enter it in the county fair.

Also have been doing hand stitching on the piece dyed with avocado pits.

A few more rounds of stitching added and I wrapped the outer line of stitching so that it didn't look so wimpy. Looks like this one is going to be concentric circles.
