Homespun quilt progress and mowing
The homespun quilt is now 90% quilted. Yes, I spent a lot of time this weekend FM quilting. I outlined the area the is left to be quilted.
I have gone thru four spools of thread and started on the fifth.
I worked on straightening up the fabric storage room and the guest bedroom. I had a lot of fabric piled up on the beds in the guest room so I needed to get that moved to the fabric storage room. While straightening up the closet in the guest room, I found two baby quilts!
On Sunday I worked on mowing and trimming the back yard. I had mowed the front on Saturday. The back was a mess! It has been 6 - 8 weeks since I had mowed it; lots of excuses! Too hot. Too wet. No time. It took 26 trips back and forth to get the mowing done. I dumped the mower bag 13 times; that's how I know it took 26 trips.
The grass/weeds had to be at least 6" tall. I am so glad the back is mowed. I still have some trimming I need to do, but the worst of it is done for now. Here you can see the first two passes.
A quick trip to the grocery store, some laundry, and a bit of weeding rounded out my weekend.

Quilting and mowing both were successes on the weekend. It's amazing what we find in our piles when we tackle the clean up.
My neighbors mowed my grass yesterday and it had been at least 3 weeks since the previous mowing. Now we have green grass again after all of the half brown for about 4 weeks earlier in the summer.
Boy did you have a productive weekend! If we waited 6 weeks to mow, we would have a jungle. Right now it's mowed ever 2 weeks and sometimes that's really not enough. We've just had too much rain this summer.
that is a LOTTA quilting and mowing!!! sheesh...
