WIP Wednesday, 7.8.2020 -- on a Thursday...

I'm a little late on my WIP Wednesday post.  Internet problems and then I just ran out of time is the culprit.  But here we go with the list...

I’m still working at least 15 minutes a day on long arm quilting a 4-patch quilt for a friend. It’s awesome when I can take away the chair that holds the batting and keeps it off the unfinished floor.   I’m more than half way done.

Nothing at all got done on my rug.  Guess I haven't touched my sewing machine in over a week...

My garden is looking fabulous. I finally got zucchini plants to grow. We finally got rain two days ago. These are the best looking eggplant plants I’ve ever grown. Now let’s see if they produce nice eggplants.

The pepper plants don’t look that great, but this baby pepper looks promising.

Blondie the brood hen is still sitting on the eggs that I gave her on July 4th. We are past the rough first days. The countdown is on for July 26th!


A guy I knew in high school was on the show “Naked & Afraid”. His name is Tim Phillips. Owen and I are big fans of survival shows. Tim made Owen a super happy super fan by sending him an autographed photo.

The garden looks great, much better than mine! We got a little rain, but definitely not enough. Then the squash fruits on the plant in the pot on the deck don't seem to be getting any bigger. It is fun to try anyway. That's great you are halfway done with the 4-patch. That is so cool you know someone that was on the show and he sent Owen a picture. You couldn't pay me to do something like that!

Good to see what you are up to. Wish we had some rain. Good thing I am not growing food, just flowers.
