Here We Go Again!

I think this is wind damage. We've had a lot of hot dry wind lately--one reason the temps are up into the 90's. The good thing is, when I called the roofing company, the response was immediate: we'll be out tomorrow to fix it. Since that means "today" we'll find out if they meant it. They'll also need to check the rest of t he roof--don't know if you can tell from this photo, but the angle is very steep, and I don't climb up there!

This is what I see when I look out of my back window. Good t hing we got out of the habit of using that door, since the bush is so heavily weighted down that you can't get past it! But it's gorgeous to look at.

Some quilt-y eye candy for you today. This is one of "my" quilters with his grandson, who is making his second project. Noah was very proud of this, and I think he'll be back to quilting next time he visits the grandparents! This is a charity quilt, one of many this couple has made. He cuts and measures and presses, she sews and quilts. We all want to clone him!

Since the news came out about the closing of the quilt shop soon (owners are moving away) it was a very somber gathering on Tuesday night. Felt like a wake! No one wants to see the group disbanded and scattered, so we're exploring alternatives. One problem is that the shop has provided so much visual and creative stimulation that it will be hard to replace that unless we can find another shop (in the same geographic vicinity) with enough room and a spot on the schedule.
