Labor Day Weekend

Hi everyone~ Summer's last big celebration is this weekend, menu at the end. Masks, social distancing, outdoors, blah blah blah.

But wait! Look what the mail lady brought, quilts back from my quilter, Lori C.

Her work is beautiful as always.

Not thrilled with the Baby Pineapples' lack of contrast; this is a commissioned quilt and they asked for grey instead of my untended white.

I hope this doesn't get used as a dropcloth, but ya never know.

While I was waiting for these to return I started a tiny hand project. Here is Starry Eyed Jack.

For tomorrow's pre-holiday BBQ I was planning my special brisket burgers, recipe at the end. And I bought peach pie. But since the guest list has grown I imagine someone will bring gelato instead. I'll put the pie in the freezer, I think. And I very much doubt anyone one will want the burgers as planned..but maybe I can have mine?

have a good weekend!

I am not invited, mommy?
