Sewing Sewing

Wednesday I skipped the pool-cool and windy sounds like a bad combo! Picked up Vi at 11 and we went to Tia Rosa's for lunch. GREAT Mexican restaurant. Great atmosphere, too. Good food! They don't serve warm bean dip with their chips, tho. Been working on Renee's quilt. Have 36 log cabin blocks made. Also 60 lattice strips (with 240 squares attached) to join the blocks together. Joined 4 blocks together with the lattice strips-1 each of greens in the middle and 1 of blues in the middle. Looking good! Can't share any pictures here, as Renee & Craig have to wait til October to get it. Darn! the patterns is Star Log Cabin by Eleanor Burns if you want to look it up.
Thursday I went back to the pool. Ran some errands. Now have 7 of 9 four patch blocks together. TV at night is so annoying right now. Re-runs-never know when they'll air a new show. On some of my walks around the park, I've noticed quite a few units for sale. Went by last year's location. They added a sun screen to the open wall of the carport. The old guy from WI that lived next door is back. His unit is still for sale. I have some neighbors kitty corner from me from Green Bay-Jerry & Sue Krueger. Also on my street is Lois Thalacker from Eau Claire. Should meet more folks on Sunday late afternoon for the Block Party-a real block party-no quilting! Went by the unit my Canadian friends will be renting next week! WOW, guess you need to be Canadian to get the good units! It's been completely remodeled inside and out! Not sure how old a unit it was to begin with. I thought a whole new park model/AZ room had been installed. Open House tomorrow from 1-3. I'll be gone then. Will have to wait til Larry & Sharon get here next week to see it.
Pool this morning. AZ quilt show from 10:30-2. Was really crowded when I got there. Moved to a different room to avoid the crowds. All the vendors were in the same area this year. Looked at quilts. Ran into Christy (Racine quilter). She didn't enter any quilts this year. She was working-white glove lady to show you quilts up close. Made the rounds and photos. Then went outside for lunch. Back in and visit the vendors. Bought some patterns-they're always easy to get home! Bought 2 small kits. Another Kokopelli and a cactus one.
Busy weekend planned!
