Oops, I think I missed my spa day!

 The 4th of July is over and done with and I didn't post a reminder about spa day for your featherweights.  I'm so sorry but I don't think it's too late.  If you follow my suggestion, I tell people the best way to remember when to do your 6-month oil/grease and lube day is to do it between Christmas and New Year's day and then again between my birthday and the 4th of July.  Those two times are just about 6 months apart.  So, go ahead and do that spa day if you haven't done it already.

It's really been nice up here in the woods this summer.  We didn't get to come last year so that makes it even more special this time.  But, not doing all the things that need to be done last year has meant there is more to do now.  The flower beds were pretty grown over and they all need a boost with some good manure added to feed those plants.  Our neighborhood doe really likes petunias and tomatoes.  She just about devoured those when we had to go back to AA for the dr check up.  I think they will come back.  I hope they will come back.

It's so quiet up here and that means I can catch some sewing time on rainy days and early in the mornings.  I started a Judy Niemeyer quilt, Carnival Flower, back in the winter and took a class.  Nancy Kloster is a great teacher but I was only able to participate in 3 of the 6 monthly classes.  She told me not to worry.  She'd answer any questions I had and she did that.  The quilt top is done now and I really do love it.  I don't know how I'm going to quilt it yet but I'll figure it out, I'm sure.

And, our summer FW retreats are coming up so soon now.  I can't wait for all the fun.  If you'd like to get your name on the list for the 2025 retreats, be sure to email me.  jdquilts123@yahoo.com

Okay, guess I'll get back to my FW and try to get things ready for our get together next month.  Do let me know if you have any questions or comment here.  I'll  be sure to post pictures after our retreats.
