Today is a quiet day. My son is on third shift so everyone is trying to keep quiet so he can sleep. All I'm doing is watching videos (on the laptop) and laundry. The two grandsons that live with us are at the sitter while their mom is at work. When she gets out she will go to her mom's for a few hours so he can sleep.
I know how hard it is to sleep with everything going on during the summer as I was on third shift for 6 years. You learn to run a fan or air conditioner for background noise. I may cut out a quilt later, but a lot depends on the temperature. If it is too hot than I don't like to be in the sewing room currently as my son has my fan. Another week and then he rotates back to first or second.
I have been doing some doodling. I am working on quilting ideas for the various quilt tops that I need to get quilted. I also have been taking pictures of items that I want to thread paint. A couple pictures have some interesting aspects to them and may end up as quilting ideas.

It's been a long time
Wow! Where has the time gone. I hadn't realized that I hadn't sat and shared anything in quite some time.
We have had some health issues to deal with and are finally past most of them. One I will live with most likely for the rest of my life. I'm hoping that with the diet and other changes that I have made that I will not have to depend on medications for quite a while yet. Time will tell.
I have slowly gotten back to sewing and quilting. I took a class at one of the local quilt shops on thread painting. I'm still working on the one we started. I'm not sure that I will post a picture of the first one or not. I am working on other designs to do.
We did find a venue for our guild quilt show. We had to change the date though. It is now 6 weeks earlier than it has always been, so I am trying to finish up items for the show in all the hot muggy weather that we have had. Today I'm watching some videos and working out a pattern for the 2nd place raffle quilt. I may just make a table runner instead of a wall hanging.
I'm trying to get quilts done for all the grandchildren for Christmas. Three are started and in various states of being done. 4 more to go. I will try to post pictures as I finish them. I do have a top done from a class that I took in April. But with 6 grandsons and 1 granddaughter, I have a tendency to finish girly stuff before the boys.
