How Did It Get To Be September?

It's hard to believe today is September.  We have had a very, very hot week and it's been hard on the corn and the cattle. The air conditioner was still running at 10 pm.  Today fall is in the air, but next week's forecast is back in the 90's.  As you can see the baby calves have grown up over the summer.  The grass is not so green any more.  We are praying for rain.  DH has been preparing for silage cutting time and stacking all those bales we've made.   They will start cutting the corn on Tuesday morning.

I  have been cleaning and sorting.  I have too much stuff!  I've been thinking I need to have weekly goals, but my "flexible" life style seems to get in the way.  At least  Cherry on Top is a topper.  I've been doing most of my quilting on paper this week.  When it cools off, I'll need to do a practice top and I'll be ready to load and quilt Cherry.

I've been stitching a Thrift store find.  I bought this set of alphabet blocks at the store for $.50.  Embroidery is so relaxing for me.  I love the plain lazy and winding down of sitting and stitching.

Life is busy, but good. 

Feline Friday

I needed some instant sewing gratification, so I took a Cherry On Top layer cake and charm pack, did some cutting and made some big blocks.  I think Puss was checking out the little owls.

She seemed amused to see me sewing again--it's been awhile.  She just sat on the bed and watched.  Later she went to her hidey hole in the closet for a real nap.

This is cute fabric.  I'm still in the process of sewing rows together.  I'm planning a wide border to add more size to make it a lap size quilt. It's been fun to cut, sew and iron fabric again.  It's a start.

I'm linking up with Sarah, because I love cats and their quilters.
