I'm just now settling in with a little slow stitching this weekend.
Saturday was a busy day with horses for Emily and catching up with her trainer and her riding buddy and her Grandpa. I've not seen them in about a month.
Saturday evening was picking up some food donations for the band booster music program pot luck dinner and awards banquet at school. We picked up more than expected as Cheddars Scratch Kitchen added extra things and Olive Garden provided salads and breadsticks. We were very thankful for their donations. Emily got her medals for superior ratings of the group in both marching band and symphonic, her 2 gold bars to add to her letter and a color guard pin. She also received a plaque for most improved in JV winter guard. She was quite pleased.
This morning, I helped set up tables and chairs for around 200 for the Girl Scouts Tea Party. I have helped set up the last few years but not gone to it. I forgot to snap any photo's, but it looked great and ready for the crowd to arrive.
Some chicken time happened.
5 colorful eggs, so everyone laid an egg today.
The girls eating some treat seeds. They did get some outside time to wander the yard while I helped Emily clean out the second coop area. We had some mice get in there and it needed a good clean. This was the original area we don't use for the chickens, just was storage.
I finally got something I ordered from Amazon a while ago. I can't wait to look through this book. Pepper Cory mentioned it on the Celebrate Hand Quilting group on Facebook a while ago and it finally arrived.
Ollie agreed to a photo.
I'm taking a break from the string of beads blocks and will be stitching the quilt as you go hexagons together into a long row, to eventually add to the
existing quilt to make it bigger. I added the last 2 to the completed one on the left. Now to stitch those 12 sets of 4 into a column. I'll have to start prepping some more of these - I'll need 48 for another strip. I'm thinking to add 4 strips total, so almost halfway there. The current quilt is 88x66. I think 88x88 should be a good size for the bed.

those hexies look great and will add nicely to that quilt. It sounds like you had a busy weekend!! Good to reach the end of the school year isn't - must be about done now? I think here they finish out part of the week and then done
Busy weekend! That is a cute photo with the girls and their awards. Glad your chickens are laying again, and fun photo with Ollie, too. Your hexies are coming right along!
Great photo of Emily with her group;))) congrats to her and them all on their medals...
Hexies as you go are looking great--that will be a super bed quilt...
