Rain,Free To Good Home 😄

 Rain is good,the farmers need it to grow the crops so that we may eat but on another note too much causes floods & deviations ,rain is in the forecast for the next week into the following week,hopefully it'll just be showers,the last round of rain brought thunder boomers,lightning,floods & tornados in surrounding  areas

I'm not sure how hot it got up to yesterday ,I should had checked for it got way too hot in a hurry when I took the girls 🐕🐕 to the park so we basically left quicker than we got there,it was just to unbearable ,when you cant keep your tongue in your mouth,its too hot 🤣 the humidity was high enough that what brief time I was out my cloths were damp enough to have change when I got home

Making Patterns & Plans For Finishes

 A reminder  of another great block drive over at Quilting Is More Fun Than House Work ,I haven't started on mine just yet but plan to dive into them this coming week

https://quiltingismorefunthanhousework.blogspot.com/2026/05/oh-scrap-new-block-drive.html?m=1

meanwhile a few weeks back when I finished one of my Summer themed aprons ,I decided to make a pattern,yrs of making this simple chef style apron the pattern got misplaced so I've always just used one of the aprons for a pattern so why not cut through the chase & make a new pattern?😄

I use this one a lot but also will pull in a more fancy one,the chicken fabric will have a flounce ruffle using view B from Simplicity 8815

the blue denim look print & blue floral are cut & ready to sew ,they are the simple  chef  style like the flag print

, I will have Sadie 🐕today & tomorrow so weather permitting it may be a park day for her & Grace today 🐕🐕 weekend sewing plans are to finish up the aprons & see if there's enough leftover fabrics for pillow covers & get in some prep work for the upcoming week

 PARA's Day Trip Tours ventured out to Scottsboro Ala.to the unclaimed Baggage,2 hrs in we stopped for a brief bathroom break& back on the road for another hour & half to our destination arriving around 11:00 starting with a guided tour then left to shop around,back on the bus at 1::00 & just a few blocks down lunch at the Warehouse 207 restaurant,more shopping downtown, departure at 3:30 arriving back at 7:30 ,Im tired all over again just telling you all that 😄

For The Luv Of Clouds

 Do you see a dinosaur?🦖😀

I luv clouds, especially when they're big & fluffy & take on the unusual amazing shapes that they do,coming back from my day trip from Scottsboro,the sky was the bluest blue & the clouds were just beautiful ,the bus departed at 8 am this morning & got back around 7:30 pm,not only was I gone all day but I felt like it 😄 more on my trip with our park & recreation center to the unclaimed baggage  tomorrow 

Blue Take Five Is Finished

This  is the third quilt I've made using this 5 strip block,I made my 1st one in pinks for a sew along ,the block was called take 5 referring to the 5 strips that make up the block, there are several names for this block so I'm not sure of its original name or if this is one but I do know this one is done😆

the back is made from a blue gingham sheet

I have made 3 quilts with this block so far,its an easy block to put together especially for beginners , different fabrics make each one you make slightly different giving them each their own personality ,there will be more of these in my future as I go through my scraps 🤔I bet a scrappy would be pretty!
