Friday Finish

Finally cooled enough to quilt, but I took it easy. I made an envelope quilt from a top my mom put together at the retreat in May.

This is a quilt for St. Anne's.   And the back:

A close-up shows it's a Beatrix Potter print.

Keeping with this minimalist quilt idea, I did wavy FMQ around the four center blocks.

It's good to be back sewing!  I'm linking to Sarah's Can I have a Whoop, Whoop? and Myra's Finished or Not Friday.

I Like Thursdays

Thank God for our AC.  Here's plants not affected by the heat:

In our front yard planting.

Here's a close up - aren't those flowers fabulous?

A different cactus with colorful, wicked looking thorns.

Four Days

My lovely roses are fried from the heat. Only one survived
cuz it's low to the ground and fully shaded.

of unrelenting heat!  Friday - 119; Saturday - 118; Sunday - 110.  Today they promise 105 and it may happen - the low last night was 77 - way better than the 84-85 of the last few nights.

I suffer from heat exhaustion (I had heat stroke in 2002 and now very sensitive to high heat),  and while I try very hard to stay in an air conditioned room, after a few days it starts to get to me wherever I am.  Yesterday, I started to feel the nausea and wooziness right after 8 AM mass.  We went to one store and by the time we were home at 10am, I had to lay down. Ugh.  Today, even though I could leave the windows open last night, I'm feeling it again. What to do? I drink lots of cool water, watch tv or read or sleep.  Dinners are easy things.  For instance, yesterday, I took out a P F Chang frozen entree and cooked it in a skillet. I had leftover white rice for my husband, but I put some Romaine lettuce mix on my plate and put the Orange Chicken on top of that. Great way to lower the carb count to the dish.

Sewing?  Hah! Maybe later in the week when the temps are suppose to be only in the 90s. Has to be under 96 or else still can't function.

Hope you are well. Blessings.
