Customer quilt, Turkish Cigars, BG's FPF

I spent a lot of Tuesday morning (6/11) on my computer…first getting a blog out, then looking for a couple of new cookie recipes.  Michael and I are going to a Mustang owner’s picnic later in the month, and I’m supposed to bring a dessert.  Since it’s outside….and several hours long, and in June….in the south….I thought cookies were my safest bet.  I hope to make my regular peanut butter cookies because everyone seems to really like them, but also wanted to try a new recipe for Chocolate Sugar Cookies.  I got that all squared away, and then started looking for another recipe.  I thawed out phyllo dough over the weekend, and hoped to take another kind of filled cookie to the teacher of Lady Locks, but I didn’t manage to pull them together.  Since the dough is already thawed, I still need to make them, and hope to stop by her house later in the week with my new treat :~).  By the time I found what I wanted on the computer, our furnace guy showed up to meet with us.  It is time to replace our 2 furnaces, and 2 air conditioning units (can you say $$$$$...OUCH!) and he came by with his helper to scope everything out and work up a price. 

By the time we were done discussing everything that has to happen with our replacements, it was early afternoon and I finally got back to XENA and loaded up the next customer quilt: 

and got started with a little quilting:

*************************************

Wednesday (6/12) was really a perfect day….my honey left early for the first day of his tournament (his team won today, match play 9-1/2 points to 8-1/2 points) and I SKYPE’d with Janice in the morning….it seemed like we talked about twice as many things as usual! 

After SKYPE-ing, I got half of my Turkish cigars made: 

and left them to cool while I settled in with my new library book.  You know where this is going…right?  At 4:30 I finally finished the book….incredibly satisfying story….highly recommend: IONA IVERSON’S RULES FOR COMMUTING by Clair Pooley.  When I saw that my hold on this book was in…based strictly on the title, I said ‘’why on earth did I request that?”  But I LOVED the book!!!

So at 5 PM I was finally in the studio to do just a bit of sewing, 2 more columns of Teal Splendor....done!!!:

before stopping for dinner and TV in the evening.

And BG finished a new quilt for her granddaugter...another FPF (4 patch frenzy) that looks totally different!:

*** I made some mac ‘n’ cheese without having to retrieve the box instructions from the trash….so I’m basically ready for Top Chef! ***

*** I love bacon because I can wrap I around anything…..it’s basically the duct tape of food! ***
