A busy three days

I took Friday off to get some stuff done - meet with the radon company, furnace maintenance and a perm. I spent a lot of time cleaning house too. I worked on the zig zag flannel quilt and it is now ready to quilt. It is just slightly bigger than the other two blue flannel quilts. It measures 62 3/4 x 74".

I was sewing together the two strips of Buffalo check for the back and I didn't match up the checks right. That was dumb!  It didn't take too long to rip out and resew.

I saw a fox for the first time in the back yard. He was quick so this was the best picture I was able to get and it's pretty bad!

I received the fabric and strapping I need for replacing the organ cover for the band. HomeSew was having a 60% of everything sale and I didn't realize until the last email I received from them that they are going out of business. I ended up having to buy a 100 yard roll of strapping, but at 60% off what the heck! I should have enough for lots of projects! I used a 10 yard roll on the first organ cover so I will have plenty for this new one!

Saturday I took my drum

and headed to the protest downtown. There were lots of people and characters! Dinosaurs, a unicorn, shark, chicken, cows, a character from South Park, Sponge Bob, Patrick the starfish, a frog, and a polar bear to name a few.

It was a peaceful protest that there was no trouble, but not peaceful because of all the horn honking and me beating my drum for 2 1/2 hours! We were making some noise! There were a couple drive-by agitators, but nothing that was an issue.  Several people came up to me and thanked me for all my drum beating.  I was tired; it was quite a workout!
