Sat & Sun

Janice spent Saturday morning (6/17) finishing up her pink quilt:

and left around 1 PM:

after a visit from Paula to drop off a quilt.

Remember this quilt that I decided I just had to keep:

Well, I didn’t want to short change the dialysis people, and I still had a bunch of fabric left....so I made this out of the leftovers:

And I got binding done for it as well...

That took up my Saturday afternoon and evening, while Michael was watching the PGA tournament.

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

I was up early Sunday morning to hit the grocery store, then came home and made pasta salad (with carrots, broccoli, tomatoes and cheddar cheese) and a revised ice box cake:

Michael got to talk to Marc (and AJ for a little bit) for a wonderful beginning to Father’s Day.

I worked in my studio in the afternoon…I got Paula’s backing loaded, but when I tried to lay on the top, the batting is not wide enough:

I think I have it going in the wrong direction.

By then Diane & Mark arrived at 4 PM and we settled in the living room with drinks and seasoned shrimp they brought as an appetizer:

The guys finally settled in to watch the finals of the golf tournament, while Diane and I spent the time talking all things quilting :~). We paused around 6 PM for pasta salad, chicken on the grill and corn on the cob, then the guys went back to golf and Diane and I went back to quilt talk :~). Another pause at 8 PM for dessert…Diane’s flourless chocolate cake (TO-DIE-FOR) and my ice box cake:

Yes, we got our signals a little bit crossed...so we both made dessert!!! The guys finally finished up after 10 PM and Diane & Mark headed for home….it was a wonderful day!

By the way....a friend of a friend's great grandmother made a double wedding ring quilt top:

She would love to see it finished, although she doesn't want it back...anyone up for the challenge?

*** My liquid diet is going fabulously!!! After 4 glasses of wine…I no longer care about how fat I am :~). ***
