T Stands for Tuesday Lovely Sunrise and Quilt Update

 Hi Everyone,

      Another T for Tuesday is upon us. You are most welcome to join us with our hostess Bleubeard and Elizabeth, just remember to share a photo with a drink reference.

   Autumn weather has arrived here these past several days-cooler temperatures in the mornings, less humidity, foggy mornings, and being so dry most of the summer the acorns are falling off the trees-green and not matured. The chipmunks are still eating the tomatoes-sigh but I have two that have actually gotten to half size-hoping they will get a bit bigger and then I'll bring them in to ripen. Sunday morning I saw the groundhog that lives between us and the neighbor-actually there are two of them. They will need to be trapped out.

  Calm at the lake for the most part but Wow the weekend was totally crazy again-another race boat event, Saturday boats for Trump parade and Sunday boats for Biden parade-although Biden only had about 24 boats.

    I did finally get the piece of flannel that I had ordered first-I don't usually get white, but I really liked these cardinals and the wilderness theme, and I needed another light to go with dark for the 4 patch blocks

  I had gotten this final piece on Saturday-so over the weekend I finished cutting all the pieces. A large queen for us and I have enough fabric to make a large lap quilt as a surprise gift from my friend.

   I started sewing the smaller quilt on Sunday, so I can get this sewed up and quilted before winter arrives out west. I am thinking of hand quilting but with large stitches.

   I have always made simple country type quilts, I never had the patience for those intricate patterns and very small pieces. My Mom loved those 1 inch squares-I can't even imagine all that work-and accuracy in cutting and sewing.

     Here are photos from the lovely sunrise over the weekend and my cup of decaf coffee

Someone was fishing

and Monday morning-right now-the fog is very thick-can;t even see across the lake- this was taken indoors so ignore the dirty window-I am learning I need to  wash these windows once a month do to the bugs.

  You probably know I am an Outlander fan, I love the books-so much history in these books, and I started watching the show last season-very well done, acting and scene sets are amazing so I wanted something. Not a t shirt so looked at jewelry that wasn't too "corny" lol and found this bracelet on Etsy. A charm bracelet of the animals in Outlander. Not expensive, the whole bracelet was about the price of each sterling silver charm I bought a few years ago putting together a couple of charm bracelets-that was so fun to do.

   She added a celtic heart for me-this is her photo from here

Larry went to the woods house on Sunday to load some things and to get his skid steer working again-he can use it here at the lake house-a friend that helps us-sent this along for a gift to me-isn't it amazing? Never seen anything like it. I actually found an outlet behind this dresser. This is in my computer-weaving-spinning room Larry just told me that my friend saw someone carry this out to the garbage and he said Oh No-- I know someone that would love this. Very thoughtful of him to think of me

Happy T everyone Update: please read my next post after this-me and a friend have discovered a security issue with Mr Linky-I do not think this is a blogger-google issue but Mr Linky--I am concerned and won't be linking up in the future-either that or would need to delete my blog which I don't think I need to do
