Yesterday.....

The day started with a rainbow.........actualy a double rainbow.......
We got a storm around lunch time...........we got 7mls........a few more storms floated about all afternoon........but cleared before dark.........
I had to duck into the Dr's again for the sinus right as one of the storms was coming thru...................still not cleared up so a different tablet now..........was feeling a bit better but went backwards..........
So it was a a good day to have friends sewing...............I have been working out handquilting............Sonia showed me how to start and finish.........
Had tried perle 8 but the Auriful 12 is easier to use..........
Robyn got this plus quilt cut out........
she managed to get the first 2 rows joined up............
Red, black, grey and white looks great......
Miss Jules got another dresdan drunkards path quilt cut out.........
dinner was by candle light as the power went out.........
came back on as I decided to go to bed............
no storms forecast for today but maybe tomorrow and Saturday.......
harvest is just about ready to go..........
visitors tomorrow night......
I was trying to catch up with all the lovely comments you girls left while I was away but I just can't manage........so i'll start again from now.......
I do love the comments it's what makes blogging fun interacting with everyone..............
Catch you later.....

Hope the rain stays away for harvesting and that you get a good crop in.

Good on you for learning hand quilting. You will end up working out what threads and techniques work best for you. I have changed my quilting ways over the years. Some lovely projects there. Hope you are feeling better.

Rainbows, quilting and candle light....well how lovely! Sorry you are still having sinus issues. Hope you will soon feel better.

Hope that sinus has cleared up...
Looks like the ladies and you had a productive day...
Typical that power goes back on at bed time...
Slowly slowly does it..

I actually like it when the power goes out as long as it is not in the dead of winter with below zero temps! Sorry about the sinuses. Headaches surely put a damper on sewing. Glad you having a good time with the hand quilting. I stink at machine quilting, but I keep trying.

Hmmm rain just before harvest, bit frustrating but good for garden I guess. Plus quilt looks good, a nice combination of colours. Hope the new sinus tablets help.

hope the storms stay away until you get the harvest done, and hope you feel better soon. Garden looks good.

Oh you poor thing... still struggling with your sinuses - it has been a long haul hasn't it? Glad you had a nice sewing day to cheer you up xx

hope that sinus clears up properly soon. We have finally had a bit of the rain yesterday - it's so nice waking up to a fresh clean world....
