Hand quilting progress....

 Well, it seems the hair place near us closes at 6PM right now..... so it was closed. Aidan actually asked if it was too dark to take a walk instead... so the kids and I got a walk in last night instead! We enjoyed seeing the Christmas lights and decorations around the neighborhood.


I have managed to get 5 of 9 Book Club blocks hand quilted! I need to start on the 6th one tonight.



There have been 3 eggs so far this morning... and it is early! Maybe we will get 4 today? One egg was on the bottom of the coop and 2 were in the nesting boxes. We have 14 eggs in the holder... guess the kids really need to make those merangue cookies this weekend! I see more quiche on the menu at our house! This was the basic recipe.... I added a couple handfuls of wilted kale instead of spinach last night and chopped up some deli ham into it as well. I also cook some onions in butter and add those in. We tend to go crustless so I just make sure to spray the pie plate before adding in the egg mixture.

I'm just caught up on your posts. I loved reading the story of how you helped that lady at the store. A great lesson for the kids. I enjoy hearing what you plan for dinner each night. It always gives me ideas as in quiche is now on my list. I also cook the onions in butter to add flavouring...eggs kind of need that. Your finish was beautiful and it looks like you are getting Book Club nearly there. Hand stitching is slow but it is so peaceful.

Oh this quilt is coming out so gorgeous! Your quilting is adding the final touch...nice work;))
Quiche is a good idea--I always made quiches to bring to my daughter's on Christmas Eve--some bacon, some broccoli and some mushroom/onion--the boys loved them--who knew? I used a milder cheese than guyere for them though just a nice mellow cheddar...I am getting hungry now just thinking about it...

Hugs from the North Country (well north of you anyway) --we expect some snow this weekend...stay safe Julierose :()

I will be trimming my own hair for awhile again I started last month - I won't go back to get it cut now until the numbers of virus start to go back down which I don't expect will be until spring at this rate! I'm glad you can walk through your neighborhood and see the Xmas lights - here will will need to drive to the near by town in the evening to look

You are making quick work of that quilting, Deb! Lots of egg recipes in you future, huh? Congrats on the extra egg! I was surprised to see the quiche calls for mayo and only 4 eggs.

Your Book Club quilt is looking wonderful! And a neighborhood Christmas lights walk sounds wonderful, too. We'll have to do that, too, one of these nights, because we can see that some people in our area have a lot of things set up in their yards. Thanks for sharing the quiche recipe - sounds yummy!
