Good Afternoon Sunday

   We are still in the 90's F here and the humidity has arrived Lots of boaters out on the lake this weekend-don't blame them-a perfect weekend.  I do see rain in the forecast end of next week-finally-but will see if we actually get some.

 Since my last post about the Amish toothbrush rug-today I finished steam ironing all the strips. I had purchased the poly-cotton broadcloth for the strips to tie the knots on to-yesterday I got the new blades for my rotary cutter-so this week I will work on getting those cut-hoping this doesn't end up being a mistake-as much easier and more on grain to tear the fabrics. I did not have any fabric in my stash for the base strips.

   The flower print in upper left had corner was a lot of yardage that was given to me over 20 years ago. It never fit into quilts I was making at the time but will be perfect for this rug-lots of it too,

  Here is a photo. I lined a box with an old pillowcase This just shows some of the fabrics and this is a deep box.  I did get much nicer needles for this project, and I am still not clear on some of the instructions for making these rugs, so I bought a vintage pattern when these were very popular in the 1980"s  but was disappointed in that.  Will go back to you tube videos when I am ready to start.

   Am still having trouble getting my money back for the needle from the bad seller on Ebay. He has had the package back over a week ago now. So this morning I went back to Ebay for help-they do support the buyer.

   I had written about my football teams and just deleted it haha many don't watch sports or you have your own teams you care about.

  I did get another skein spun up with the bison fibers so am still working on that craft project--thinking this yarn may weave into a warm scarf

  This time of year we have such lovely moon views in the evenings, and still gorgeous sunrises-so special for sure. Sorry didn't get newer photos of those.

 Happy new week everyone
