They Are Gone And A Party

John and Brenda headed down the driveway around 8am this morning heading for somewhere in Utah—it was going to be a long day for them.  We so enjoyed their company the last two days and the opportunity to show them where we hang out.

I decided to work on a little quilting project of my own today—a fall table runner using the Superior Thread’s product Texture Magic.  The TM is a thin, rayon feeling fabric—draw the shape on the TM, in this case pumpkins then sew the TM to the fabric using the lines you have drawn.  Next step is to hold a steam iron over the TM and watch the “magic” occur—it starts to shrink up giving your fabric this cool, wrinkled/poufy look.  When I finish the table runner, I will post some photos.

Lonn, LoraLee, Laci and Nat came for dinner tonight.  Laci is our granddaughter serving in Italy with the USAF.  She is home on leave and departs back to Italy on Friday.  We had her favorite Grandma meal—beef tenderloin roasted on the grill, garlic mashed potatoes, and salad with poppy seed dressing.  LoraLee brought dessert—Michael’s favorite, cherry cheesecake pie.  I think we are going to eat vegetarian for the rest of the week!!! 

If you can believe the weather forecaster our wonderful Indian summer is drawing to a close this week.
