It was a HOT, humid and windy weekend, but with lots of things going on. No sewing at all happened on Saturday.
Saturday I spent the afternoon in a lawn chair under a tree watching wrestling held outdoors - in the heat at a baseball diamond. They had to move the girls' mat twice trying to keep it in the at least partial shade. Our granddaughter lost 2 matches, but pinned her last opponent. She wore a long sleeved swim shirt under her singlet because the mat was so hot to the touch, even in the shade.
Sunday morning I made a quick trip to the Arts in the Park - before the temps hit the 90s. I got there as they opened up. This park has a lot of shade thankfully.
My big purchases - fresh flowers, jam and syrup from The Jam Man, and ice cold lemonade. Then I hustled home to hide out in my sewing room, out of the heat and humidity.
And found this in the window well of my sewing room. It's a young opossum, and very much alive. I have no idea if it just fell in there overnight, or had spent all day Saturday there too. Poor thing!! My husband wasn't home to help me, but I found a board in the garage and drug it out to drop into the window well - hoping the opossum could climb up the board to get out. He didn't . . . so now my husband put down a ladder for the opossum to climb. Hopefully he is gone this morning, but I haven't checked yet.
Eventually I did manage to get some sewing in. The sunflower mini quilt is a flimsy, and sandwiched for quilting. The binding is made too. This might be the first thing I finish this week.
The placemats made from orphan blocks could be the second finishes for the week, if I can get them bound. The bowtie placemat has binding attached, but these red/grey ones (3) will get some grey binding if there is enough.
Overall my goals for this final week of July . . .
