A Busy Weekend

And a fun weekend too.

On Saturday morning I was the host for the Charleston Modern Quilt Guild monthly Sit and Sew as the usual member who organizes this event had another commitment.

We meet at a local quilt shop, Five Eighth Seams, which so generously shares their sewing/gathering space with us once a month,

This store is so colorful and lively. It is a pleasure to visit it. All over the store are so many beautiful hanging quilts.

This picture looks into the main part of the building where most of the fabrics live. And I somehow didn’t get a picture of that main room

This picture below shows the size of the meeting room–which on Saturday morning was divided into two sections by that purple divider. Tables with plugs are set up everywhere toward the back of this room. There are also several cutting tables and ironing boards. It’s a perfect place to “sit and sew.”

It rained Saturday morning, so my granddaughter’s tennis matches were cancelled.

But Sunday morning, the play commenced again. My granddaughter won this US Tennis Association (USTA) competition for 12 and under girls just before a gully washer rain hit us hard. And after, in the semi-final match (a nail biter), defeating the number 1 seed.

Between matches, I dashed home to fix some food–as the week was busy, and I had to cook something.

I’ve never grilled a steak and roasted veggies so fast!!

And now I have food for today.

The gully washer put down 4 inches of water in about an hour! And the rain continued lightly into the early evening, so I sewed and missed my daily 1-mile walk, which has only happened twice this month.

Tomorrow the whole house water filtration system gets installed, with reverse-osmosis water in the kitchen.

And today I have some food errands to run, among some other housekeeping chores. And there will be sewing. There is always sewing.
