Text of the page (random words):
in it is quite muddy too there i found a pair of pretty ones mud here i come they are heavy duty vinyl with some leather and can be easily hosed aren t i going to be quite the fashionista while working in my garden but since this morning was looking like it was going to be another day of rain and being saturday i grabbed my knitting needles and worked on david s afghan it is so heavy that i decided to sit on my bed so i could handle the weight of it while knitting away i watched a couple of documentaries on pureflix one was about tim tebow and the other about zig ziglar both were about very upbeat determined and positive christian men very inspiring as the sun began to shine and after watching the documentaries my mood lifted and i felt energized thus the reason for deciding to go shop once i returned home i made a couple of dishes so i would have something quick to fix to eat for my upcoming busy week another bright star day this past week was when i received a yard of gingerbread men fabric in the mail from a friend it was a nice surprise now i need to think of something to make for her pinterest had a cute table runner there were a couple of patterns of gingerbread houses too decisions thank you for visiting and wishing you a great sewing or quilting day posted by joanie s trendy quilts at 7 47 pm 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels afghan boots garden knitting saturday january 11 2020 way to early and random thoughts cassie woke me up at 1 30 a m me now awake and not able to go back to sleep thinking always gets me in trouble so wisdom tells me to go read quilt blogs to redirect my brain cassie on the other hand is nestled in the quilts on my bed while i troop through the house taking blog worthy pictures my ninja air fryer that son david gave me for christmas still learning how to use it my experiments using the air fryer crispy bean burgers and sweet potato fries they taste better than what they look second attempt with the sweet potatoes fries were not as dark but not as crispy either during my early morning reading blogs escapade i read o quilts blog she s making these beautiful rope bowls so early morning i set myself to go looking for the one that was gifted to me i found it it is pictured above with a partially made quilt block name of the block pattern is bird s nest my in progress paper pieced blocks started making these a couple of years ago can t rush into things maybe blogging about them will get me motivated again the alternate block is wyoming valley makes you wonder how they come up with the names for these blocks ty my oldest son and his wife mindy gifted me this wonderful and very sharp knife for christmas it is a german made wusthof knife in passing while talking on the phone with ty i mentioned that i purchased a faberware chef knife from walmart that wasn t working any better than my other chef knife making progress on david s afghan need to rip out a row as i am off pattern need to do it in the daylight so i can see those stitches in august i changed to whole foods plant based diet for health reasons i was successful in bringing my blood pressure down though my cholesterol and triglycerides were good in june i am looking forward to seeing greater results during this coming year s annual check up now i think i will see if i can catch a few more zzzzs linking up with love laugh quilt monday thank you for visiting and wishing you a great sewing or quilting day posted by joanie s trendy quilts at 3 31 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday january 3 2020 not exactly a quilt david s afghan i asked my youngest son what he wanted for christmas he wanted an afghan to go with his new navy recliner it has been years since last picking up my knitting needles i chose an easy pattern using bulky yarn so it would make up quickly the yarn is so soft which is going to make this basket weave design afghan very cozy he received a gift bag with balls of yarn as i didn t have enough time to complete an afghan to give him at christmas i am enjoying knitting after long days on the computer doing bookkeeping and accounting january is notorious for being my busiest time of the year knitting helps me to relax after a day of stress it took me three starts to get the pattern to work the yarn is so dark in color it was difficult to see if the pattern was forming correctly also i was having trouble with the size 15 circular needles that weren t long enough picked up size 15 straight needles which also were too short and even more cumbersome to use i happened to have a another set of size 15 circular needles that were longer but a bit larger than the other but smaller than size 16 needles as my title states not exactly a quilt but have made a bit of progress on a quilt in the works on my last blog post which was august 2019 i posted a picture of a block that had a mistake in it i have since repaired the block and started another paper piece block for the quilt until next time thank you for visiting and wishing you a great sewing or quilting day posted by joanie s trendy quilts at 7 56 pm 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thursday august 8 2019 oh no oh no i hadn t noticed the blooper until one day walking down the stairs even on the design board it went unnoticed can you see it it will be my next project one that hopefully will keep me involved in quilting again it will take a bit of effort since it is paper pieced to take apart my plan is to unstitch the center piece without taking the complete block apart next i will have to shake the dust off all the pieces in the basket to complete the remaining blocks this quilt has been in the making for a couple of years workload has prevented me from sewing much as well attempting repairs painting landscaping pressure washing my house and shed shampooing carpet and getting the floors cleaned my to do list is quite ambitious finishing this quilt will be my next project one that will keep me involved in quilting again but most importantly i have to find time to be granny j it has been quite a challenge today i met my son ty and his wife mindy while passing through charlotte for breakfast look who i got to hug and hold meet luke my newest grandson momma is feeding him grits what kind of grandmother would i be if i didn t post more pictures of him a tah dah in the early mornings the last few weeks i could be seen wearing an oversize t shirt black shorts with paint splotches all over them with paint brush in hand quite a scene i am sure my front door needed some tcl wood fill and paint also added a new porch light new black numbers at the top and a new wreath joanie posted by joanie s trendy quilts at 6 45 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday september 10 2018 finished with decorations i found the pattern for the tall christmas tree in a quilt store in kentucky i fell in love with it at first sight sensing that i had to have it how unique i thought that was three years ago i came home with the pattern and began shopping at thousands of bolts only one nut on their website they have a designers palette where you place fabric swatches from their inventory so you can mix and match i played with the design palette until i found the perfect fabric for my tree if you google the tall christmas tree you will find many different styles from traditional to modern i saw one that had candles but the tree wasn t at all traditional with your typical red and green christmas colors i am celebrating the finish the quilt has been 3 years in the making due to life interruptions another celebration my birthday how sweet it was of my friend to take me out to dinner at don pedros mexican restaurant linking up with love laugh quilt on monday free motion quilting on

trendy quilts at 8 08 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest saturday august 25 2018 stack of quilts and beach time before leaving for wilmington to spend time with my kiddos i stacked my quilts these are not all that i have made they are all the ones i have kept most of them are from block swaps and block challenges 6 to be exact i need a creative way to display them aside from hanging over the stair banister the last couple days here in charlotte the evenings have cooled down with peaks of fall showing up the season where thoughts of bringing out quilts and baking begins at 5 34 a m precisely miss cassie my lhasa apso decided it was time for us to get up so what do you do early on a cool morning after exceedingly hot and humid weather you bake typically i usually make blueberry muffins but didn t have any blueberries using what was in the pantry and refrigerator i concocted the cinnamon walnut muffins pictured below they are made with oatmeal flour yogurt honey grounded up flax seed and chia seeds miss cassie was yipping for her share spoiled she is but she is pretty smart as she knows what tastes good they were quite yummy this morning as i sat down to enjoy with a cup of green tea while doing my bible study before leaving for a trip to wilmington i had to water my gardens and flowers and pick produce i had been watching this particular watermelon waiting and hoping that i wouldn t pick it too soon the tendrils were dry the bottom was white and the thump on it sounded hollow it seemed like a good time to pick i was motivated to pick it since i noticed a deer in my back yard for the first time ever and was concerned that she might eat it i slid the knife into the 14 5 pound watermelon and it literally cracked open it was perfect and so sweet thank goodness that i was planning a visit with my son and daughter in law who could help me eat it it was eaten quickly the marigolds in the garden are huge they grew from seeds that i picked from last year s marigold plants aside from the watermelon i have cantaloupe zucchini 3 types of pepper plants and 3 beefsteak tomato plants 6 brussel sprouts and 1 grape tomato in pots are oregano thyme basil and mint there are 2 rosemary plants that grow year round i started the spring with cilantro but it went to seed as i mentioned above i had planned a trip to wilmington to visit my son and daughter in law miss cassie travels with me as ty s philosophy is dogs are family which i intend to agree miss cassie came out of her hiding hole the downstairs bathroom as she noticed suit cases were coming down the stairs and heading toward the garage and car she makes sure she won t be left behind by waiting out in the garage ty mindy and i ate at tarantelli s ristorante italiano in wilmington which is close to the boardwalk saturday evening the food was divine after dinner we took a stroll down the boardwalk it was popping with activity since it was the week when university of wilmington students were moving in lots of music and people ty wanted ice cream but the line was so long that they opted to pick up some on the way home at the grocery store mindy and i spent the day at the bmw porsche dealership where ty is sales manager it was so interesting watching the sales team work together and meeting the people he works with sunday morning we began the day sitting in the screened in porch with the sheers floating in and out with the wonderful breeze and miss cassie and cheech joining in with us the conversation was flowing then we took a ferry to southport where we had lunch in a restaurant that over looked the intercoastal waters we started with claim dip and crunchy pita bread which was quite yummy we strolled around southport a small town with historical quaint homes we then drove to oak island and stopped off to walk on the beach the intercoastal waters are not as pretty as the ocean but still fun to walk the beach with the wind blowing smelling the fresh air and picking up a few shells we drove home where ty made us a scrumptious steak stirfry with broccoli and other veggies with cherry sauce he served it with stir fried cauliflower rice with bits of sweet potatoes seasoned to taste it was quite yummy afterwards we strolled up to the pier and around the neighborhood with cheech a dachshund and chihuahua mix we definitely got our exercise on sunday would you believe i slept in on monday once getting up on monday ty at work and mindy working she works at home when she isn t required to show up for a meeting miss cassie and i walked up the pier very slowly cassie isn t walking as fast these days i took a wagon with me in case she couldn t complete the trip it was heating up and getting very humid so i carted her back to the house in the wagon while she was letting me know she wasn t quite happy about it she did though loved sitting under the shelter part of the pier as i did as it was so cool with the breeze blowing it was so peaceful tuesday was my birthday mindy surprised me with a gorgeous orchid plant ty parker and i went to the bridge tender restaurant another waterfront restaurant in wrightsville beach to celebrate my birthday it was so sweet parker my grandson was quite tired since he worked all day in the hot sun wednesday would be his first day back at university of wilmington my meal was scrumptious with blackened mahi mahi with shrimp and bits of crab meat served on a potato and carrot stew made with a tomato sauce the leftovers tasted great even the day afterwards ty and i shared a piece of key lime pie which was the size of a 1 4 of a pie it was made with whipping cream which took out the tang that so many other recipes have it had raspberry sauce dribbled on it afterwards we traveled in different parts of wilmington that i hadn t seen before it was a great birthday love my family would you believe i didn t gain any weight on this trip if you have ventured to my blog tell me how many quilts you have at home that you made if you are not a quilter tell me if you have ever visited wilmington or th...
