busy, busy

that is what it is going to be this week.  A week from today we leave for Colorado for 3 weeks!  It will be so nice.  We love the mountains so much.  Of course that means between now and then we will be busy getting things ready.  It also means that for the month of September I will not be on the computer a lot so blog post will be eradicate.   Some places that we will be at will have wireless and some won’t.  There will most likely be 4 to 6 days or so between post.  But the reward will be a give away when I get back home so please stick with me!  I will be back to posting like normal when I get back home.

Yesterday Mike washed the motorhome from top to bottom and even got the awning out and washed that too.  Hard work out in the sun but at least it wasn’t really hot.  This morning when we got up it was 62 degrees – amazing for this time of August it is still in the 60′s right now.  I guess the weather is giving us a taste of what our day times will be like in Colorado except up in the mountains it is already in the mid 40′s at night!  I will be sure take a fleece jacket and gloves with me! (plenty of sweatshirts too)

I didn’t get much quilting done yesterday but I did finish one more block on the “Insanity Revisited” quilt.  This is block G-12.  I used the reverse applique method for this one.  One more block to do in that row and I will have 7 rows finished and sewed together.

I also got two more blocks on “Insanity” quilted.  These are from Row J #’s 9 & 8. Only 4  more blocks to do on that row and the two end triangles.  I will finish that row for sure this week but most likely I will have 3 rows and a border row waiting for me when I get home from the trip.

I will be away from home just a little longer than expected.  We will only be home for about 2 or 3 days before I am flying to Wisconsin for a week to visit with our daughter and her family.  I will be taking care of the grandchildren for 3 days (the rest of the time will be to visit with her ) while our daughter meets with her husband in New York City.  He needs to go on a business trip that week and she really would like to see some of the city.  I don’t blame her one bit!  The kids will be in school so can’t go along.  I will be able to get in a visit to one of my favorite quilt shops while I am there - Mill House Quilts. It is only about 10 miles from where I will be.

So stayed tuned – give away will be announced the first week of October – I have that big basket to go through so there might be two winners – or one winner with more than one item.
