  • Photo Show

    The two photos above were taken at my church quilting group's meeting on December 17th.  We're holding up the 2007 Cobblestone Block Workshop quilt.  The woman in the pink shirt is the representative from the Rose Brooks Center who came to pick up our 2007 donations.  Our minister is on the left-hand side in the top photo.  He pieced the orange and green block in the center of the quilt.  It was the first time the minister had ever sewed.  (Devoted readers will no doubt notice that I'm the one wearing the plaid shirt.)

    My son has begun to remind me gently that it's time for me to come back and finish painting in his new house.  I have finished my competition quilt, except for the label, so he has a point.  Here are some photos from last November when our family was helping him move into the house.

    IMO has no fear but needs some common sense.  In the center bottom of the photo above, you can see the door to Tremor3258's basement.  Tremor3258 is trying to spot IMO as IMO tries to remove some of the previous owners' screw anchors.  The Professor walked into the living room to see this blood curdling sight; he put an end to the screw anchor removal until it could be done more safely.

    Iltflinthills was entranced by the height of the light fixture in Tremor3258's dining room.  We were amazed that she could stand underneath the light without too much neck bending.

    IMO helped me paint the first of what turned out to be five coats of paint in Tremor3258's bedroom, but here he is more interested in the photographic record.  The bedroom required so much painting because Tremor3258 was too polite to tell me that he didn't like how the first two coats and the resulting faux painting turned out.  I had to cover that with three more coats of paint, but Tremor3258 really likes the current dark blue walls.  The other bedroom I painted so far has deep sky blue walls now, so you can tell that Tremor3258 likes intense colors as opposed to the neutrals he was forced to endure when he lived with The Professor and me.  (However, just for the record, I always painted the young Tremor3258's bedroom whatever color he chose.)
