Good morning, Happy Labor Day, and Welcome in September
I am so ready for September and cooler weather. The lake of course, has been crazy busy-expected and we missed the rain-again-that was predicted. Yesterday was warm but looks like we are back to 70"s F today Love it.
Over the weekend I have been tearing strips of quilt fabrics-that I won't be using any more. Some of the pieces came from my Mom's sewing stash-she never kept a lot of fabric around-unlike many quilters who "collect" fabrics. A few of them I remember picking up when a quilt shop was closing, and one piece with lots of yardage was a gift from a blog friend 20 years ago when I first retired-that one will be perfect for the rug.
I decided to iron all the strips and remove all the loose strings-some of the quilt fabrics really bunched up after tearing-so I think these will be much nicer to use being ironed.
I have gotten no where with the bad seller on Ebay-he is in denial-tells me the needle is in the mail but the tracking shows not shipped-could be an error with the post office-but I don't want his needle. I found a much nicer one on Etsy. I can't contact Ebay about the needle til Sept 4th along with reporting that he hasn't settled returning my money or sending me a label for his instructions.
Did you watch any college football over the weekend? I watched the Notre Dame game they lost as the time ran out-but this year they have a rookie quarterback that will get better over the season.
Tomorrow early I need to get my car inspected so I can renew the plates. Since I have an old car (1999) I need to get it inspected every 2 years.
Off to turn the page on my calendar to September
