Anna drove up from Virginia Tech and was willing to help out with a few projects around the property. We also hauled some rocks and logs from place to place with the ATV which was so satisfying and planted some tomatoes and herbs. Today we want to try to finish staining the deck. It rained last nigh though, which is good for the tomatoes and mushrooms, but not for getting an early start on the deck.
Wait, you say this is a quilting blog? There were several long hours on the drive up to work on hexies in the car. We visited Kurt's dad on the way through North Carolina as I hand stitched the day away. I will work on the connecting blocks on the drive back. There are both light and dark rows for blue and each needed just a few more diamonds to get to the desired length, which I think was a lucky 13.
Sounds like you got a lot done. Happy stitching this week.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun and busy time at your cabin! Learning how to grow mushrooms would be so interesting- you'll have to show us the results. Love your hexie blocks - perfect for traveling!
ReplyDeletelove your hexies - have fun in your mountain home
ReplyDeleteHexies make good travel projects. I am intrigued by the "growing of mushrooms". A granddaughter lives in Vermont and they forage for "shrooms" every once in awhile. Good luck with your Shitake Garden!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful week! You're really putting your own stamp on your property. The hexies are coming along well too!
