DH and I came home from Cape Cod 2 weeks earlier than originally
planned. He decided he was having Grand children withdrawal and wanted
to come home. I think that's really sweet and had no objections to
leaving earlier than planned. Maybe that's because I had the same
symptoms. To remedy it we are having one of our DGD's sleep over this
Friday night.It also convinced both of us that when we decide to
downsize it will not be to live on the Cape permanently. That will stay
our fun place and winter living will be closer to where we are now.

While out there I worked on a quilted table runner. It was a combo of
log cabin squares and applique (sp). The only thing I have left to do is
quilt the border. I saved that for home because I didn't have a walking
foot with me and I think it will make the job got faster and better.

I also took the class I wanted on making a sweatshirt into a quilted
jacket. There were 4 of us in the class and it was a lot of fun. You
take a sweatshirt, cut off the sleeve and bottom ribbing and then cut
open the the shirt seams from the bottom right up threw the sleeves so
it can be spread out pretty flat. You then start at the shoulder and
arrange 4 inch squares of fabric down the sleeve. When your satisfied
with the way it looks you put them down with a fabric glue stick and
start sewing horizontally from the sleeve bottom to the shoulder. You
stitch a row about every half inch. Then got to the other sleeve then
the back and front. That's the general basics of it. If anyone wants
complete directions let me know and I'll send them. You do a lot of sewing.
One woman did hers on a child size shirt in red and white. Another used
upholstery fabric samples in browns. The third used whites, and faded
denim and mine was a combo of mottled colors and complimentary prints.
It another thing that goes faster with a walking foot. I still have a
lot of work to do, Not having the foot slowed me down.
While I was getting some material at the store that had the class I saw
a used machine for sale. It had the most intriguing sign on it. The sign
said "experienced sewing machine for sale." I thought that was a great
way to put it.
Now I'm back to putting every thing away and I'm still catching up with
laundry. No washing machine out there.

I'm glad to 'see' your beamish face, Juno. Now, put the detergent
down and walk away, and nobody gets hurt...
