Mystery quilt





In February 2008, my group justquilting had a mystery quilt sew in day. I designed this top and we had a lot of fun. My husband didn't because I had to have the laptop and the tabletop computers. But he was a good sport about it.


We mailed signature strips with our name and state on it. Some of us included it in the large heart blocks, some used them on the back.


Here is a photo of three of them. Pams in pinks/blues, Joanne in blues/yellows, mine pinks/reds. The all pink one with the center ribbon went to the Bath County Relay For Life 2008 fundraiser.

Deck work




Here are three photos. We still have to put lattice around the bottom and make a door between the two wooden pillars to store the lawnmower.


Back deck

If I can remember how to post photos, you will see the back deck we put up, my husband, a good friend and me. We tore down the 101 year old rotted 5'x7' deck and put up a 6'x18' deck. A lot of hard work, but it was worth it! I now have an appreciation of my Dad's hard day at work.
