I Like Thursday #173

Another week has gone by. I wish I had more to show for it. There have been SO MANY appointments and business that needed attention! Monday I took Mom to get her hair done because her hairdresser was out of town on the regularly scheduled "Friday Hair-do Day" and afterwards took her straight to PT. Tuesday took Mom in for a fasting blood draw. Denny's breakfast was afterwards. That afternoon I had a meeting with the final roofer for Mom's house. I am so ready to get that sucker sold! Wednesday was PT and then I hauled Mom to radiology for a bone scan. This morning I was at her house for Terminix to do their thing. Pshew! Now I need to contact the two roofers to tell them we're going elsewhere and the one roofer that we're ready to go.

LeeAnna's prompt this week was: Do you remember making construction paper turkeys? Using your own hand? Taking them home and having a parent put them up in the house? My answer: No but I remember doing those things with my children. Loved their creations!

If you'd like to see what others answered, visit LeeAnna's blog here. After all, this is I Like Thursday post!

Thanksgiving-wise, I managed to quilt four placemats. Unfortunately I've only got binding finished on two. That's OK because only Mom & I use the placemats. It's a Villa Rosa pattern and only uses 4 fat quarters for the fronts that you slice, mix, and sew back together.

My needle is still working tiny Xs on Scarlett. Where I was last week ...

Progress as of today ....

I'll be stopping by Hobby Lobby tomorrow after Mom's Friday Hair-do appointment to pick up more floss!

I also found a couple of minutes to start laying out the next round of blocks on the mystery quilt at my LQS. The quilt was revealed at our last meeting and it would be great to have the tops completed for our next meeting in December. The quilt pattern is Monterrey Medallion. Here is the center medallion getting Gracie's approval.

Above is the stack of star blocks that will surround the medallion. They're clipped in the order I'd like for them to surround the center. It's tricky because the quilt is scrappy and I don't want any like fabrics to be near each other. If it ends up happening now, oh well!

If you'd like to see how much fun Mom has at PT, click on the video below. This is one of Mom's favorite activities. Turn your volume up to hear her giggle! Please forgive the amateur videographer!

I'll leave you on that note, hoping you have a great Thursday!
