We had great Labor Day weekend! We visited my mother-in-law's new log home in Kentucky (which was fabulous) and all three of my boys (my husband and two sons) had a phenomenal time riding around on ATVs on their property.
(I will have photos of the new log home and some ideas I have in a future post).
Since I had most of the applique work done on my two quilts, I needed a project to take with me on this trip (it was a 4 hour drive!). I decided to make yo-yos for a quilt that was on the cover a past issue of American Patchwork and Quilting magazine.
I'd gotten a lot of yo-yos made but it is still only a fourth of what I need to make for the whole quilt.
Another item I took was another new read, The Help by Kathryn Stockett. I had finished the book today and I'm looking forward to see the motion picture at the movie theater (although I think I waited too long, the movie is no longer at our local theater).
The last block of Henrietta Whiskers had just come out, so I'll be anxiously finishing Block Nine and I hope to get the rest of the quilt put together by this weekend (I'll keep my fingers crossed!).
More to come later.

I recently read The Help and agree with you, I too expected a few things that didn't happen. I didn't get around to seeing it at the movies either. Sometimes after seeing a movie adapted from a book that I like I feel disappointed and so I wasn't sure I truly wanted to see it. Maybe sometime I'll catch it via rental or on TV.
ReplyDeleteI haven't ever made yoyos. Unsure if that's my thing so maybe someday for accents on an applique piece or something.
