Quilting and gardening

Can you see him/her?  See what he/she is right next to? My beans.....but he/she is so cute, just a baby. Sam and I go out and talk to him/her every morning. There is no name (yet).  Dan already informed us we can't have another pet. 

Went to quilting tonight and had a great time. I need to go to our local store and purchase some dark green or dark purple fabric to use on my 9-patch table runner. I have backing fabric already from mom so will only need to purchase a small amount and was also given some hints on how to quilt it, so hopefully this weekend I will have a finished product.  I also took the apple core fabric and they were highly impressed (I think they just want me to keep sewing/quilting so went overboard) with my first curve. One of the quilters in the group is Kathy Johnson who works at a quilt store in Williston and also teaches a ton of classes.  She is doing a one woman show yet this summer and is organizing all her quilts which she estimates to be about 150.  Wow -- I think I will be excited if I even finish one.  She does fabulous work.

Picked some more yellow beans and another zucchini from the garden.  I'm not sure what happened to the green beans because all I am getting is yellow, which is fine because they are so good when they are fresh.

Today a gentleman laid linoleum in the kitchen. He is quite a character but does a fantastic job. Really likes to talk, said he would be done at 5 and left at about 7:30. He has to come back and put the refrigerator and stove back. He is also coming back on Saturday to tear apart the bathroom, lay subflooring and linoleum. Our bathroom is currently carpeted and is gross. After that we are going to sand the hardwood floors (I'm still trying to find someone I can hire) and are awaiting the new curtains. Then we are done.  I am not a good living in chaos but will be nice when it is done.
