Progress
Thursday, November 4, 2010 at 12:06PM ;)
I woke up at two thirty this morning, here it’s noon and half my day is gone… I’d hoped to have a lot more progress on the log cabin quilt top today!
I do twelve blocks at a time, I’m about halfway through the next batch. Tonight is my quilt group meeting, I sure hope I can stay awake!
Chicken barley soup simmering on the stove, a loaf of sourdough rising on the counter, a new batch of brochures printed to hand out this evening, and a replacement dishwasher ordered and scheduled to be installed on Monday.
I think I can handle a weekend of washing dishes by hand! I did order a KitchenAid, from a local appliance store. The kid was terrific and we spent over an hour discussing machines. He actually talked me into a lesser model than the one I’d chosen. The original unit I wanted is ultra quiet, but didn’t come with a food grinder. After thinking about it, I’m pretty sloppy about loading my dishes in to the machine, whatever the dogs don’t lick clean gets loaded that way! So I went with the highest model with a food grinder in it.
My folks are coming down tomorrow for the day, they want to see the fall leaves along highway 7, always a beautiful ride. There’s a craft fair going on here this weekend, beginning tomorrow, so we just may go to it and eat lunch out.

Beautiful, CJ! I love the browns and creams and I have always loved log cabin quilts, especially the traditional barn raising one.
I recently bought Judy Martin's Log Cabin book and I am loving it. I especially like the tip on using silverware trays to store the logs--great idea-never would have thought of it on my own!

Hi CJ,
I have a Kitchenaid (about 4 years old) and it has been great. It is so quiet you cannot even hear it running. The only quirk on my model is that if you start it, then open it to put something else in you need to repush the start button. I know to do this but when I have company staying with me they don't know. Maybe they have changed this now. Mine was probably 1 level below the top at the time I bought it.
We had vegatable beef soup and crusty bread yesterday. Finished it up today and it was sooo warm and filling after the blustery wind all day. I really like the log cabin quilt.
Don't you just love dogs! You're quilt looks great. Hope you have a great time tonight. Fill me in when you get back.
I never rinse my dishes and the new one we put in has a chopper and in probably almost a year of using it at least once a day, I'm loving it. Love your log cabin progress.
