It's almost 3am and I am up with a toothache! :( Oh I just want to cry!!! There is nothing worse than a toothache. :( Oh well...on to some quilting news.
I finished my Prayer Cross Quilt top! Well, I will probably add a small border on it. I am very pleased with how it turned out and I am pleased that I actually completed a quilt top! I get sidetracked very easy, I don't mean to but I do.
Here is a little funny...I was so excited to have it completed and I was taking a million photos of it on my design wall so I yelled for Richard to come upstairs and look at it. He says, "it looks very nice but you messed up the bottom corner" WHAT???? Grrrrr....I did! You can see the extra colored square that should have been cream. :( It is now fixed and I am glad that it was caught before it was quilted.
I'll post another photo of it when I find a border fabric for it.

More progress on my Prayer Cross Quilt. I have the first 5 rows completely sewn together. The other pieces are just on the wall to check for color placement. I plan on working on this again tonight. I should have it finished soon.
I also got a few bow tie sections pieced for my leader/ender project. I am getting closer to the end on this one.
I got this bread machine and yesterday I tried it out. I fixed spaghetti for supper and in the book I found a recipe for spaghetti bread. The ingredients....bread flour, yeast, sugar, onion salt, Italian Seasoning, Parmesan cheese, and water...I think that was all. Anyway, it was delicious!!! Hunter loves bread so this morning I have another loaf in. I'm making traditional white bread. I think I will be using this often as we love fresh bread.
Hunter had another award's day on Thursday. He received 2 more awards. So very proud of him.
Friday was his last day of 6th grade. He has grown so much this year. He is 11 yrs old and is taller than I am. :( That's not saying much since I am only 5ft. LOL!
Friday evening after dark we had him a little "weenie roast" to celebrate his last day of school. Just something simple with me, Richard, Andrew, Hunter, my sister and BIL. My sister Chantal and hubby Ronnie brought stuff for S'mores. You can see here that he was having a good time because he kept goofing off every time that I would take his photo.
Starting tonight he has Vacation Bible School (VBS) all week.
Richard worked last night but Andrew and my BIL, Ronnie went fishing at the Lake way up in the night. Not even sure what time that Andrew got home. Good thing that we live less than a mile from the Lake. :) Anyway, next weekend we are planning a big fish fry cookout! Should be lots of fun. So far we have 9 catfish and some frog legs! They went gigging the other night and got some frogs. I'm a country girl through and through and I love to fish but I can't stand the taste of fish or any type of seafood. :( So it will be burgers for me. LOL! Since they are "catching" all of the food, it will be pretty much a "cost free" cookout...except for my burgers! LOL!
Andrew will be exhausted today as I said he fished late into the night. Then he got up at 7am this morning and left out on a long drive to Columbus, Ohio for a guitar show. He wasn't driving so that is a good thing, maybe he can rest. If you don't mind, say a little prayer that he has a safe trip. :)
I got a surprise visit last night! My MOMMY! She works away on a tug boat and they just happened to dock about an hour away. They let her off for the evening so imaging my surprise when she knocked on my door when I wasn't expecting her for another 3 weeks!

I had no intentions of starting anything new but I have a dear friend that has been diagnosed with cancer so I thought this quilt along with some prayers might give him some comfort during treatments.
I'm pulling scraps out of my scrap basket and cutting them in 4 inch squares. I thought I had more in my scrap basket but I may have to start cutting into my fat quarters and yardage. The background is just a simple muslin. I think I will make more of these for comfort/donation quilts in the future. I found the pattern here. I found tons of different colorways on Pinterest of this quilt. I think I am going to call it, Prayer Cross Quilt.
Yesterday I made some apple jelly from some apple peelings that I had stored in the freezer from this past Fall. No waste doing it that way. :)
I've also been playing around with several hand sewing projects, like these hexies and my Lucy Boston Crosses. Oh yes, that is my morning coffee. :)
Fresh green onions from the garden. I fixed a pot of pinto beans with cornbread the other day and the fresh onions were soooo good.
My peace lily is looking well. :) I'm looking at it right now and it has 6 big blooms on it. :)
I guess that is all for tonight. I'm going to start posting more regularly. I'm easily sidetracked. :) I have a busy week ahead. Hunter will be out of school on Friday. He has another award's day on Thursday. Then all next week he has Vacation Bible School. :)
