A good weekend

It’s way to hot and humid to be outside so I stayed in and worked a little on all of my projects.

I got 2 more veterans quilts loaded and have quilted 1. I should get the other one done today.

I made progress on the next wheelchair blanket while watching the last of the World Cup games. I could probably get more interested in soccer of the scoring was more like the Saturday game. The Sunday game bored me. Good thing for crochet!

But I spent the most time doing some fabric dyeing. Most of it was quilt backs and there was so much that I has to split it between 2 days. I don’t have the capacity to soak all the fabric I dyed at one time. I dyed a green back, in the photo, for the Monty Scraps quilt and lots of blue backs for veterans quilts. I also dyed about 10 yards of a gradient and coordinating solids for the fish quilt I want to cut out and take to Maine.

It was very nice to be dyeing again.

This week I have 2 classes of training to work the voting polls on August 4. We have a Senate primary. I have training Tuesday and Thursday. Mom and I have lunch with my cousin Wednesday and I’m meeting up with another friend Thursday. In between I hope to get several more veterans quilts quilted and to start cutting out the fish quilt kit.

    I must admit I have not watched one minute of those games! I’m just not into sports. Good to get other things done while the games are on.
