Catching Up

I’m back home after a whirlwind trip to my sister.  The woman who hit her is denying the wreck was her fault, but I’m pretty sure not even her insurance agrees with her.  My sister needs the insurance to pay for her new van, so well wishes and prayers are most appreciated.
Hey, there’s us 4 years ago with two less kids!

Friday I had a nice afternoon sewing.  The courtyard steps are all done for the month, even if they aren’t red (the original ombré fabrics didn’t include red).  I made a good start on my Garden Party posies.  My Easy Breezy blocks include some red, so those will get some attention this month too.

I finished two more rows of my temperature quilt this week as well.  Next time, I think I need to take my own temperature each day, as the weather website I check says we only hit above 95 twice this summer, and I know that is not true.  We hit over 100 more than once.

I have yard/farm work coming out my ears, so I need to shake a leg.  I’ll be linking up to the Rainbow Scrap Challenge and will try very hard to visit all the other lovely quilters.

Sending hopeful thoughts that the insurance comes through for your sister! Love the family picture, too - you just need an updated one! Sometimes our weather app tells us it's raining in our town, but we're not seeing any at our house - so funny how that works. I like how your temperature quilt is shaping up!

What a fantastic looking design wall (and a fun family photo!!) Wonder what's up with your weather app? Whatever the case, that temperature quilt is coming along nicely, Katie.

I like your temperature quilt. It reminds me of mine from last year.
Hope your sister is recovering and the insurance comes through!

Your temp quilt is looking great. I hope the insurance company is able to pull a traffic camera, or a camera pointing that way from a business. Fingers crossed her insurance pays up like they should.

Somebody needs to look in her Webster's and come to terms with the word "responsibility" and then follow through on it. Oh well, I'm sure things will work out but I can totally understand the stress involved until the dust settles. Your blocks are looking good and I'm sure there's plenty of chores to catch up on now that you're home.

August Block Count

 I thought I wrote this, but it seems to be lost somewhere or I never wrote it at all… August was a quiet block month, with only 42 16-patch...
