Where is this strong 28mph wind coming from and when will it cease?

Unseasonably warm is not a good thing for us.  The winds are whipping the tilled farm acres and continuing to dry it out.  KNUJ mentioned perhaps a 1/2 of rain tomorrow.

The safety pinning on the quilt top is complete.  As the church table floating heavy cardboard can be relieved of thumbtacks, I will follow up with closing the red headed pins.  Only three of the center quilt blocks have yet to be secured.  I just couldn’t bend over far enough to snag them.  All of this pinning allows for no wrinkles of the back fabric and batting as the quilt is ushered under the sewing machine needle.

The actual quilting is a bit far off.  The machine will be checked over for threads and fuzz lingering under and in the mechanisms.  A new needle will follow an oil job.  After an oil job it’s best to stitch on scraps for a bit to make sure no oil residue shows up before the real deal.

A meatloaf supper is be be had here on Stauffer.  I have coleslaw and fruit to pair with it.  It’s up to Dennis to decide if he wants to make instant potatoes of if a refrigerator package of “Real Potatoes” is partially used.  Dennis has just decided on the instant potatoes.  Well done Dennis.

With that I will take my leave. ♥
