Finally Friday- A Flimsy

It's been a long, busy week!

I am always glad for Friday to come.

I got my 4th Block in the Vacation time Block of the month done.
It's called Penny Arcade.

After a bit of 'frogging', the Zig Zag Spiderman D9P is a Flimsy.

It only took 7 years!

This one has been sitting waiting for the final side of the border to be sewn on.

I had two extra Border Blocks and needed 4,

I thought about using them on alternate corners but looked at it again on Tuesday

& tried Black Corners and I like how they look.

Now to decide on the backing and how to quilt it.

DH had a Day off so he was doing all the Honey Do's with our 4 year's young grandson.

He got some more grass seed and re-planted in the patches that the earlier seed didn't sprout in.

He fixed the Window on our Attic that had a broken latch and put a screen on the inside behind the broken pane to keep the wasps out.

He got some Quart jars down from the Attic for our DD#1 to use for her PTA

The grandson thought it was fun to go up there climbing the 'secret ladder'.

The Fresh air of Springtime and Lilacs on our walk to pick up his brother was fun, too
I love being a Grandparent.. Our DD #2 was working so they got to come and play.
DD#2 says that we wore them out. They went right to sleep for her.
The Blooms on my SnowBall Bush are coming out. I got this for Mother's Day last year.
It makes me SMILE- and remember my Father.

I bought a cafe curtain rod that extends to 86" and had him put it on the Garage, up under the eaves.

The place I had put up the Hooks and piece of Conduit under the Patio gets a lot of direct sun so taking pictures isn't as easy without getting the top of the quilt shaded.

I will have to use the bigger ladder to get up there to attach the quilt, but I think I like it better.

DH helped hang my Midnight Flight to see how an finished Quilt Looks.

I had to stand in the back of the pickup to get level with the quilt, hummmm.
