This and That

They are going to replace some electric poles on our street because they are getting bad.  The 2 boom trucks were out front the other day.  I took this picture from inside.


My House block quilt is layered and pinned.  Now to figure out how I want to finish it.


I tried several way to finish this but did not like the way any of them was working.  So I got out the hoop and my invisible quilting thread and started hand quilting it with the long stitch.  My long stitches are not very good so I did not really want them seen.  This will take longer but I think it will be okay.  I have 1 block finished.


Pretty yellow and black butterfly on the Butterfly bush in the center of the picture.  Click on it for a better view.
