More Pot Holders

Front and back of 4 more. I've made 16 pot holders for gifts. Aren't they darling! Everyone seems to like them.
I'm learning to knit, something to do while I watch tv. I changed my knitting needle size three times in the middle of my first project. Will not post a picture ...

Last Day

Today I drove to Raleigh, turned in my state car, computer, printer, xrf machine, files, supplies, etc. A co worked gave me a ride back home. I'm retired. *sigh with a big smile*

Happy Birthday Friday!

There was no way I could say NO to "Worlds Most Interesting Man" when he begged to join me during my birthday party :D

Retirement Party, Plaques and Cake!

Since my friend Deborah and I were able to retire at about the same time, we shared our retirement party! A co worker, Warren, make me a Chocolate Cake and Deborah a Lemon Cake. We also had a sheet cake, half chocolate and half yellow with white icing. Yes. We had lots of cake!
Next Wednesday will be my last day on the job. Imagine me doing a Happy Dance!

Four More

They are addictive :D

Scrap Box To Pot Holders

The first picture is one side of the 5 hot pads/pot holders and the second picture is the other sides. They were fun to make :) I still have a lot of scraps.
They are about 7" square. In each, I used a piece of thin batting and a piece of special batting for making pot holders and hot pads.

News Flash! I'm sponsoring my granddaughter, Kayla Nichols, as a "Want to be a Quilter." Yeah!

A Sunday Ride In The Clouds

Two of my sons, a daughter-in-law and I did a motorcycle ride on the Blue Ridge Parkway today. After that, Transformers 3! Good movie :)
I didn't sew much this week. From my stash, I cut several 10" squares for some double slice quilts, several 5" squares for some disappearing 9 patch quilts, and lots of 2 1/2" squares for a postage stamp quilt. (An ongoing project.) Later this evening I'll do more FMQ on the quilt I was working on July 4th :)
