Emily's progress....

It was a long day - bowling (the boy stayed home as everything (legs and arms) were achey). Sigh, I have not checked but he grew taller over the last 2 days..... we will see if he is still flirting with 5ft or over at age 10! He seems more himself today so far this morning.

We stopped at Walmart on the way home..... so crowded! We got a chicken to roast in the air fryer. Greg got it months ago for chocolate making...... and we will see how upset he will get if the next batch of chocolate tastes like chicken..... The chicken came out really good though! The cleanup was easy as well.

After dinner cleanup, she got to start machine quilting! I need to do the middle she said.... but she did good. She slept under the partially quilted quilt last night!

She just did a walking foot 'straight' line along one side of the diagonal rows of triangles. It came out good. One side is completed. I'll do the middle 3 rows and then back to her for the rest.


Edited - the chicken carcass was in the crock pot all night with water and veggies and herbs to make stock that is turning into mushroom barley soup for lunch. We will see how it is!

good for Emily learning to quilt. My daughter just got an air fryer and was using it yesterday I will need to ask her how the meal turned out I think she said she was doing pork chops? how did you like it? Could "the boy" be having growing pains? I always thought that was a made up thing but my granddaughter went through a lot of growing spurts and one time was aching so much and daughter took her to the doctor and he said it sounded like growing pains to him. granddaughter is now almost 5'10" at 16!!

Great job Emily! I'm so happy to see her quilting it all by herself. A little help from mom is always needed. Mikaela needs to get back to her quilt, but so far she's wanting to play with new toys.

Nice work by Emily. She will love it even more because she quilted it.
