Oh Happy Day!

I don’t know who sings that song, or when it was recorded.  In fact I know very few of the lyrics.  But what I can say, it that I’ve got that tune on a loop inside my head, and everything is looking pretty good right about now.

Today was Mission UFO day in the classroom, and I just had a couple of women to sew with today.  But boy howdy did we get a lot of things worked on.  It was a terrific day, and there are lots of pictures to share.  

So while I’ve got dinner in the oven, (and it smells super tasty), let me show you what was finding it’s way under needles and onto the design wall.

Hmmm?  What’s for dinner?  It’s Keto Stuffed Peppers, one of Gary’s favorites, and super easy and quick to throw together.  Ground beef, riced cauliflower, 2 eggs and 1 can of tomato sauce with salt and Mrs. Dash all mixed up and scooped into green peppers that have been halved and cleaned of seeds.  A generous squirt of ketchup across the top, placed into a baking dish with ½ cup of water in the bottom of the dish to keep it from scorching, then bake at 350 for about an hour and out it comes ready to eat.  And just to cover all the bases, I get most of my Keto recipes from www.ruled.me — so easy on a class day!

Anyway, let’s get to the best part of the day…show and tell from the classroom!

Jean has been hard at work on her second Prairie Star.  Yes, you heard that correctly…her Second!  Beautiful color way for this one!  And she is doing a terrific job of working through it too!  I can’t tell if I’m more excited for this one, or if she is, but it’s amazing!

Vicki finished her Rainbow of Jewels—Mirage Quilt by Laurie and now it’s off to the long arm quilter.  She’s started another one called Dragonfly Lanterns.   It’s a cutie that’s just beginning to take shape.  Terrific project!

Jean also wanted to get some help on squaring up the blocks she made for this quilt, called Watercolor Garden.  It’s a simple little block made for a quick quilt for her granddaughter.  Another winner.

And for me, I’ve got the stacked folders happening today.  That, plus some quilting on my domestic machine to finish off some Impatiens placemats.   With a lot of repetition for this quilting, I like to mix in a little regular piecing to break up the process.  One layer of folders, then a petal, another layer of folders, than a petal, and so on until all the way through the folders.  

Then for seatwork this evening, I’m working on this vintage quilt that needs a bit of repair.

Lots of good things happened today.   It really was a good day…Oh Happy Day!

Until next time, may your bobbin never be empty.
