From Mary Jo G.
We are finally below 100! Our area set records for
June with 10 consecutive days above 100. High was 110! My hanging pot was
getting battered by the wind and sunburned. Repotted all in the flower bed
where they are doing well. No water restrictions but I'm trying to be careful
knowing drought conditions exist. Picked the first zucchini and tomatoes. Have
a spicy red bell pepper almost ready and cucumbers are getting close. The pink
hibiscus has blooms that are 6" across with a deep red center.
My Summer Garden is now a quilt top and ready for the
longarm quilter to do her magic. NY Beauty blocks are set on point with green
corners and sashing. 5 quilts are ready to bind, have been putting that off for
awhile so it is the goal for July. And, ten quilts are going out. Nieces,
nephews and cousins will be the recipients of 8; the other 2 will go to
charity. My daughter asked me if I'd rather decide where my quilts go or leave
it to her to do 'someday'. Am gifting them in December and July of each year
until there is a managable amount. 50 are awaiting homes. It will take awhile.
Grand daughter Brooke will be home for ten days mid
August. She is a missionary in Argentina. GDs Laura and Molly will be here mid
September. Laura is flying from WA to TX to help her sister move to OR. Molly
will work on her Master's degree in engineering.
The guest room have been busy. One family was here for the
weekend and another came on Monday to fly out this afternoon. The third will
arrive this weekend to paint my house. Have picked a light sage green with
cream trim and an olive door. The roof has a green tint so my color choices are
limited. Good that I love green.
Blessings,
MaryJo

Mary Jo, when you have time in-between your family guests and making those fifty quilts, will you send pictures of your summer garden quilt and your newly painted home, I'll post them for you. How do you manage to make all those quilts?

Rosey, I get up early and quilt in my pajamas for several hours 3 - 5 days a week. It is too hot upstairs to work after noon. That is to be remedied this week with a supplemental air conditioner. Will charge up the camera and send you pics to post. This was a busy week, very unusual to have all three families visit in a short time period. Did have 19 year old Max and 21 year old Austin here for summer school. That was fun.
Yes, I was wondering how you manage to make so many quilts also. Is this over the years, or recent?
