I finished stitching sashings to the last five rows of my
Jane Stickle quilt last night. Slow
progress, but progress nonetheless. Here
they are with the eight rows that have already been joined.
Work on the ranch house rebuild is nearing completion and we
spent yesterday unloading boxes that the ServiceMaster crew had packed in April. I honestly thought that over the years we had
discarded most of the stuff we no longer need or can use. But, as the boxes were opened, I discovered
how wrong I was. Much of what they
contained originated with my parents including some 1934 nursing textbooks that
had been squirreled away on shelving we no longer have.
I was emotionally and physically drained by the time we
returned to town yesterday, but we really got a lot accomplished. We pressed as hard as we could since the
construction guys are scheduled to haul trash away this week. The house is a mess as the crews are still
at work, and mice have taken advantage of open doors and windows to move back
in. Appliances and furniture are back in
place, though, and it will be habitable by the time hunting season arrives. That makes my husband very happy.

This is just so beautiful! You have make very good progress with the blocks and rows. I just spent at least 5 minutes looking at the blocks....so wonderful.
Glad the re-move in is coming together finally. It is an emotional drain sorting thru family things. I know you are probably pushing through to get it done.
Wow, you are really moving along on your DJ! I'm so impressed.
Good luck on finishing up at the ranch house.
