A Visit by Wisest Sister

Wisest Sister has been visiting. She is making a trip, seeing Favorite Aunt, the Grandbebe Girls and us older residents of the same state, and some old schoolmates at a class reunion. I think we are showing her a good time.

We watched the Grandbebes on Saturday, and had some interesting moments. Some important elements were left out of the diaper bag supplies, but we managed a recovery before distress was reached. Grandbebe Girl stepped on a bee coming back from a good time at the park, but she doesn’t hate me for it. A knickknack was broken but Wonderful Guy applied his super superglue talents and ‘Dating Cow’ is good as new...almost.

Wisest Sister worked on some pants hems while I worked on the quilt last night. She asked if I had a seam ripper, which I did. Then she asked if I had a new one. Seems the one I gave her was dull. One holiday, she set about to peel potatoes in my kitchen. Guess what. She deemed my potato peeler dull. I think the holiday must have been Thanksgiving. At Christmas, I received a new potato peeler from her. This time, I happened to have a new seam ripper. By chance. Maybe I shouldn’t have admitted to having it, though. Maybe she would have bought me another!

Anyway. The quilt piecing is coming along. I am putting together 9-patches, embroidered patches, and the in-between strips/squares. About two-fifths done. We purchased some fabric to use for the very outside sashing. It is nigh on impossible to match vintage colors without going to reproduction fabric! But progress is being made, and it is looking good. I promise photos forthwith, but, well, I have been really really busy!

But seriously? It is fabulous!
