Saturated Saturday Sew In, Yep, it's raining in the Great Northwet

Yippeeeeee! It's raining and I can go into my Quilty Haven. Finally. I saw this picture on FB and just had to share.

In the last few weeks, I've pressure washed and stained 500 sq feet of the lanai (outer and covered). All the lanai furniture is stored for the long winter's nap. Touched up the gate posts, here and there spots on the house and garage and painted the trim on the garden shed.

I won't bore you with all the gardening and other outside work but we're all doing it now and I haven't quilted in weeks.

There was a critter (probably a raccoon or skunk) that started digging a hole on the outside of the fence. I filled it and put some heavy rocks on it. Hope that keeps it out. I know there are apples on the ground and I suppose he is after those. I've picked from the tree and the ground the tasty Italian plums. They were so good this year. Then there are the raspberries and blackberry trees. It is wonderful that we're so blessed.

Let's get back to the sew in....Garden Twist time.

All 111(?) blocks are pieced and are stacked, labeled and ready to sew into rows. It's king size and I'm anxious to finish this beauty. I love In the Beginning fabrics and fell in love with this while visiting the shop during one of the Western Washington Quilt Shop Hops. We were all crushed when they closed the retail shop but they still sell fabric to quilt shops. My sister has made two of these beauties and gave me the fabric for my birthday several years ago.

Get ready, get set, time to QUILTIFY!

Love, love,
Woodie
