Most beautiful day here - high of about 88 - no humidity. Here in Louisiana if we don't like the weather we just wait until tomorrow - guaranteed to be different.

Steamy...just the way i like itHi maryjo... No humidity sounds fabulous! We get these afternoon storms that come out of nowhere so we don't have to wait that long for a change. Then it's just steamy.![]()

This explains what you have been doing. Maybe you do not know the secret. I know the secret now.I'm excited. Tomorrow our county fair starts and I made a quilt to enter into the fair. Last year I got a Grand Champion ribbon on my quilt.
Life is good like that when something you work hard gets recognition.
Here's my quilt for this year... the fabrics are of the 50 US State Flowers.
I designed it myself...

I made a baby quilt and it was coved in blood when I finished. I kept sticking my fingers.
Yikes! Same happened to me when I tried to weave baskets years ago. I even died my own reed. That stuff is hard on your hands. So I have uber respect for you doing that.
Thanks for the kind words guys.
I love all things hand made. It's hard work to make things yourself and nowadays you can buy things cheaper.
Yes Suzi - I like to knit too. Mostly doilies and table coverings.
I got a Grand Champion on my doily too. It was an absolutely awesome year for me. Probably never happen again.
Here's mine frrom the county fair last year...

I don't have any problems with my hands when I weave. It is quilting that tore my hands up. I weave baskets with very long natural nails. I very seldom break one. I have to cut them off.
Wow!! That is some fine work, mamu! I mean fine as in intricate and fine as in awesome. I'm very impressed. I can barely manage size 2 needles for socks.
