Day 150 of 2026

I've been cleaning in my studio to enable me to get in there and sew. 
I found this under a stack of fabrics. 
Do you remember when I did the repair on the front of this quilt? 
After that I was stumped as to how to repair the batting and backing
 in a manner that will allow me to hand quilt the areas
 that are missing their quilting due to the original damage. 
I have an idea how to approach it, 
but for now it will have to go in a queue 
while I continue to clean up and out the studio.

Day 149 of 2026

I made a copy of a favorite salad 
from a restaurant we sometimes go to. 
It was really good 
and definitely needs to be on the menu again soon.

Day 148 of 2026

Puffy Checks Socks update: 
I promised to let you know 
when I reached the straight foot section
 of these socks. 
The decrease section on both socks is done, 
and I have am halfway to the toe section on my first sock. 
It feels like real progress.

This is one of the two fruit boards my DIL and I collaborated on 
for our Memorial Day and Indy 500 family gathering. 
They were a big hit.

Day 144 of 2026

We went to our first farmer's market of the season 
and were still there when the vendors 
started breaking their booths down.
