Yesterday we had grey skies all day, then just as the sun was setting there was a beautiful pink colour on the Western sky. Some of the tall trees were glowing in pink. Then this morning the sky was more orange than pink, as the sun rose even higher the living room wall was flooded with colour. Now grey again, but it was so nice to see the sun even for such a short period of time.
It was cold last night down to -9*C, but thankfully no more snow.
Going to take a photo of the quilt top I have finished later today after I have ironed it and picked off all of the little bits of thread. So glad to have this one done, and now it is all sewn together I think it looks OK, liking it a bit more. Once it is quilted it should look even better. I will update post and show the photo.
Had some sad news this morning, Hubby's late wife's aunt is ill, and it is terminal. She is 98 years old and such a nice lady. She goes to church every Sunday, (obviously not during Covid), and then on Thursday (again not at this point in time) she would get into her pickup truck and go to the casino. She would pick up her sister in law and they would go for the senior lunch, which was free, play the slots until their allotted amount of money they agreed to gamble with was gone, or they were winners Nine times out of ten they would come home winners.
Dinner last night was beef on a bun with veg, there is enough for tonight's dinner, but will have a baked potato and veg with it. I also made a chocolate mousse yesterday and two more helpings left for tonight. Easy dinner for tonight, its all made. Bonus.
UPDATE
This is the quilt top finished. The designer Cherri House names this quilt "City Aviation". Made for my grand daughter who already has two pilot licenses, one for glider and another to fly a Cessna. In Sept she will (hopefully COVID caused her this year to be cancelled) start her training to become a airline pilot.
The pinwheels and flying geese blocks are all three D, which may cause some difficulty when I take it to get quilted. It is one row smaller than it should be as there was not enough of the light coloured fabric in the kit to finish it. Now that it is sewn together I am liking it and hope once it is quilted I like it even more.
Oooooohhhhh, this quilt is absolutely divine! I love it!! Good luck to your granddaughter in getting her pilot's license. I will keep your husband's late wife's aunt in my prayers. It sounds like she lived life with gusto, bless her heart. My son works at our local casino and he sees many "regulars" come in, who are seniors. They all say hello to him as they pass by. I can imagine this aunt & her sister-in-law are known to the employees of their casino also. Casinos are cheerful places, always lots of lights & action going on.... and I think that's why it attracts so many seniors. Keep us posted about the aunt. ~Andrea xoxo
