Finally - A Finish! (Not totally mine, though)

This is Diane's prayer quilt.  It was a made by five friends of Diane's.  Linda cut the quilt out and coordinated those making the quilt, Lynn and Kathleen pieced the blocks and put the rows together, Debbie C did all the pressing, and I quilted and bound the quilt.  After that we all signed a block for Diane and had other friends to sign also.  I am counting it as my finish because I did finish the quilt myself.  Those are my feet at the bottom of the photo. 

 

I have a couple more quilts in progress.  Two Boxy Stars quilts, one in blues and greens and the other in Christmas colors.  The one in blues and greens is ready to be sandwiched with batting and backing and the Christmas quilt is still being pieced.  I will post them when they are finished.

More Pictures of the House Next Door

This first picture shows the side of the house closest to our house.  That gray building is ours.  It is actually about 1 1/2 feet over the property line so we were worried if someone else bought the house.  Richard used to replace the clapboards when they fell off the wall but we decided it wasn't our property so we let it go.  You can look thru the holes in the walls and see no insulation at all. 

This picture shows the back door.  This house really needs to be torn down!

Here is the kitchen.  That is the whole kitchen.  Someone removed everything else that was there.  We told a friend that he could take anything out of the house that he wanted, like the copper and stuff like that.  The house is ready now to tear down but no one will come and give us an estimate on what it would cost to do the job.  Next week I am going to seriously work on getting one of those firms out here.  The power company was supposed to be here last Monday to remove the power line but they didn't show up either.

I also had a quilt finish yesterday but I really can't report it yet.  As soon as the quilt is given to the recipient I will tell the story.
