He saw faces galore

**************************
This is a 21st wedding anniversary (August 15th) present for
my favorite daughter and favorite SIL.

  I ordered a package of 42-10" pre-cut squares from Missouri Star Quilting company
the fabric pattern is Autumn Harvest
I gave the lovely sqs. a boost with fabric I purchased for the orange dividers between rows and pumpkin fabric for the back.
The pale green triangles are called Prairie Points.

 I use a simple straight stitch with gold thread to accent stems on the leaves
and a leaf pattern stitch on the borders.

I have enough sqs. for several more projects too.

Words With Friends Wednesday w/ Kat and Kit

Dearest Aunty HiC

I hope you’re having a good day. Mom and I are relaxing, playing Words with Friends with YOU. 😻

Just wanted you to know I got a little jealous, needed some attention, and started nibbling on Mom’s finger. I’ll let her continue playing soon. 😹

Happy Tuesday Tale

My new obsession, quilting, requires that I partake in one of 

my least favorite chores.....

I R O N I N G.  😛😜

After a few quilts, I realized it was 

way past time to replace 

Irma B. Decker, who was probably at least as old as 

Sassy Singer 25+years.   My husband,

wore a white long sleeve dress shirt, tie and suit to work 5 days all year for about 

29 years. I took them to be professionally washed and starched

for about 6 months.  After weeks and weeks of starching,

they were too stiff to even button.

So I started washing and ironing them.

The last 4 years of his career his employer

relaxed the dress code, slacks with a buttoned collared short shirt or golf shirt (no Tee Shirts).

Last week I grabbed a fist full of Bed Bath and Beyond coupons

and off I went to shop for a new Quilting Companion.

Introducing Irene B. Decker on the left

and her great Aunty Irma B. Decker on the right

Great Aunty Irma still works so she will be donated along with 

a few other household items.

 Irene has a retractable tail...which thrills me to no end.

As you will see below, Irene has more steam holes, a smart steam dial,

auto clean and a wider heel rest (thanks to her retractable cord).

AND Irene is a light weight in spite of her lanky look.

I'm pretty sure Irene and I will have a long lasting friendship...

hopefully she will be as dependable as her Great Aunty Irma.

Irene has been very busy since she arrived.
Starting this week you will be seeing several completed projects and there will be more to come.

Dearest Auny HiC
As you know, Dad was out of town this past weekend.  It was very quiet, and a little sad here on The Hill. 

It was too hot for outside time, so I begged Mom to play  inside.  I can tell it made her feel lots better. 😻

Somehow, Mom found me every time I hid. 😹

❤️ Kat Your Feline Nephew

We played hide and seek,

Dearest Nephew Kat

As for hide and seek, YOU know the rule of paw is....if you can't see your opponent....he/she cannot see you.  So you nailed that game too, even though your Mom was a teacher. When I was in school all the teachers have eyes in the back of their head. They saw EVERYTHING
BUT it sure does look like you might have succeeded 

 and Kickball is my favorite! 

Dearest Nephew Kat!!

OMCs I purrsonally think you were a soccer star in anudder life?

Look at you or maybe a running back for da 'Bama Tide!!?

Pup and I aren’t letting Mom out of our sight. 😻

Dearest Nephews I love how you are keeping close to Mom and NOT taking your eyeballs off her either.  

Loving your Aunty HiC

Steeple Sunday: Centenary United Methodist Church

New Bern, NC

Architectural style: Neoclassical architecture

Centenary Methodist Church is a historic Methodist church located at New Bern, Craven County, North Carolina. It was built in 1904-1905, and is an irregularly shaped, brick multiple-use church complex. The front facade includes an entrance five-bay arcade beneath a low conical ... Architect, Simpson, Herbert Woodley; Stephens & Cardelli.

This  church had so many different roof lines 

I've never seen a church with this type of architecture

Huge stain glass windows that I would have loved to see from inside

stain glass windows were all around it.

 It looks like a castle from every angle
