Always Love A Challenge and Downsizing

Just entered a little star quilt challenge.  A little bit of everything, some machine stitches, some hand stitches, liberated piecing, and some raw edge bits and pieces.  It was fun to get away from the downsizing for a bit and quilt on this little 12 x 12 table topper.  Will post picture at a later date.

Speaking of downsizing--we are going live next week.  This project has really been an unbelievable series of events.  Last Saturday, we hand a hail storm and you can probably guess what I'm going to say.  Yes, hail damage to the roof, gutter guard, fireplace hood and tons of other things.  Insurance people have already been out and we will be getting replacement information next week.  Really, good news for the new owners.  Within the past two years we have replaced everything on the house but the hot water heater.  It will be a new house setting on 3 acres.  With all this terrible weather we have been having almost every day our sod and landscaping has been so slow.  Top soil has been washed away, mulch is everywhere and the seed and straw areas you can imagine.  We will have rain this weekend, but so far it seems to be south of us.  So what ever state the yard is in and the roof we are going live.  The inside is ready and we are tired of waiting for perfect.

Plus I'm ready for the next project--garage sale at the new house in about 2 weeks.  Got to clean up the garage that has become the miscellaneous storage area.  There is always a challenge in this household.  Have a great week and Happy Quilting!
