🦝 In the heat of the night 🦝

Morning to all, 

When things show change on your back porch, you know what 

to expect when you set the trap. Yep! That is right, Raccoon. He or 

she tore down the temp gauge, turned over things on porch and tore 

down one bird feeder and emptied both of any food overnight.

So here is what we found this morning.

He had a lovely meal of two cans of tuna.

Cactus "red" flowering 🥀

Hello to all, 

I found this on my upper deck. This is the first time it has 

flowered since we left Alaska. The plant is covered in buds. 

Makes me happy. 😍

Flowering in June 2026

We left AK. back in 2011. So that is a long long time with no 

flowers. It always seemed to put on buds while in the house, 

but they never developed to flower before they dropped off. 

All it needed was a lot of sun and hot temps to make it happy. 

Right now, it is on our upper deck outside, where the green 

house roofing is located.

Love and Prayers,

Serger Quilt Fun 😍

Hello to all, 

I had a lot of fun making this quilt. I used my serger putting the front and 

the back together with batting all in one step. It was fun and FAST. I loved 

this so much I will try to make a larger one. This one was done when we 

were in Alaska. I had a small porch swing. Our swing set now here in W.V. 

is much larger, so I will have to get to work on making this new one. 

The back also looks just like the front; each block has embroidery on it. 

I just surged the edges of the quilt as you go, and you are done.

Dog Quilts 🐩🐕

Hello everyone, 

I started this in Ohio, but we moved, so now I can start work on them 

again. I have about 8 or 12 large 9 blocks stitched up with an applique 

angel on the center one, I have yet to stitch up the rest of the quilt. I 

will hunt a place around here to see if they have "no kill" shelter for 

dogs and cats.

What I had in mind making these, it that for some dogs who are scared 

and feeling lonely, they need a "pick me up" quilt so they can cuttle up 

with it or sit or lay on it. Something just for them, that can go with them 

when they find a forever home. They are washable and have nothing on 

them that could hurt them. Here is just one pic of what they are like.

I am sure they will enjoy getting a little something just for them alone.

Blue Jean Rag Quilt 🫡

Hello all, 

I have stitched up my first rag quilt. I used blue jean material. On every other 

block is an embroidery design. It is hand tied on every other block. I had fun 

making this, buy have not yet washed it. That will be done at a laundry mat. 

The designs were whatever I had on hand that was small and not overstitched. 

Front

Back

Both sides have the embroidery on it. This was done on my serger called Quil as

you go. So, when you stitched up one block it was complete front and back.

Love and Prayers,
