Weekend Wrap-up

 

 

It was a pretty busy weekend here at Chez Nana. 

 

We spent Saturday visiting my dad.  We were able to help him get a few things done that he has trouble doing by himself, watch the ball game (the Cardinals lost Sad smile) and have a nice visit.

 

I was able to spend a little while in the sewing room … a few hours Friday afternoon and again Sunday afternoon.  I finished up NCIS Season 6 and got a good start on Season 7.  Here’s a little more than half of what I’ve been able to accomplish so far.Wallquilt 002I also have 5 more rows ready to press and sew on … there will be a total of 17 rows so the body of the quilt will be 17x17 (34”x34”); I’ll have borders to make the wall quilt finish at 42”x42”.

 

We had dinner out Friday evening – with two couples from our neighborhood and Sunday – we both had obligations at church that finished at about the same time, so we stopped at Panera.

 

Our Sunday also included church in the morning and a bit of rain in the evening. 

 

There’s something rather satisfying by a nice “bookended weekend” … a visit with my dad surrounded by sewing and dinner out.  Winking smile

  9. I like a weekend that begins and ends with dinner out too : ) In the winter I enjoy a cozy dinner at home on Sunday evening but in the summertime we typically do light meals on Sunday nights and a heartier lunch after church. Have a nice week!
