The things you can see on a country drive....

We were headed to Mansfield in a roundabout way when I looked up with surprise and saw this bottle tree...last year I had never heard of them. Then this past March, Carletta of Round the Bend blog posted one....like Carletta, I would like to have one. I wonder if they would make sound in the winds that blow through here. I wonder if Roger wants to make one for me...

Almost finished....

I got this ready to quilt back in April....but I have not worked steady on it for one reason and another. After we got our older daughter moved last week, and I got over being sick, I decided to get busy. I had got about half of it quilted previously, and the past three or four days have really spent time on it. The quilting is done, and I have almost finished the second spool of thread. They each had 500 yards of thread.

If I was just quick at making decisions, I could have had the binding made this afternoon. Instead I didn't even want to think about it cause I know how I agonize over what to use. Maybe I will get it done tomorrow...some people hate doing the binding but I really do enjoy it. I guess I enjoy the whole process of quilting, except for pin basting the quilt sandwich together.
