It has been so hot here this month. We just skipped right over spring and went straight to summer. It has been so hot - I haven't felt like doing much cookin'. I know. That's terrible, isn't it?!
What I have been busy the last two days doing is quilting. Blankets of Hope, our quilting group at church, met on Tuesday morning. I had my patriotic lap quilt finished and took it back to show the group. I shared pictures from our gathering on the church's Facebook page and a member of the church said she would like it to send to her son who is in the navy and stationed overseas. I was so happy to hear it was being given to someone, I was inspired to come home and get to work on another one I brought home from the meeting. So that is what I have been doing. It has come together faster than I thought it was going to. I have all of the blocks made and arranged so all I have to do is sew them together to make the quilt top. You can see a picture of it on my design wall at the bottom of the post.
I did stop sewing to go to Mexican Train yesterday afternoon. There were only six of us, but we had a great time. Friend Luci hosted and served appetizers and DESSERT. OMG, the dessert was so good. Perfect ending to a perfectly delightful afternoon with friends.
