There is a groundhog living under my patio in the back yard. I ignore it. My next door neighbor said that groundhogs are destroying their backyard. Did I mind if they had someone put out traps. I said I didn’t mind. They have caught two skunks. Here is the one at the top of my driveway. #skunk.

I thinking about making an original USS Enterprise hallway quilt. This would be for me. I also need to make a coworker a quilt but I have not decided on design yet. This is a concept idea. Not set in stone.

I finished the Star Trek Astronaut quilt a few minutes ago. Tomorrow I will wash it and take a picture of it on my porch. I think it turned out nice. There is a couple of oopsies but that just makes it special. #StarTrek #quilting #Astronaut #babyquilt

It took most of the day but the Star Trek baby quilt top is built. In a couple of days when the batting and backing come in I will start handquilting. #quilting #startrek #astronaut #babyquilt #gift

I finished with the Star Trek baby quilt. this has not been washed yet and still has visible chaulk lines. I think this turned out lovely. I look forward to giving as a baby gift. #quilt #quilting #handquilting #Startrek #startrek60

Nobody panic! I cannot find my favorite thimble. It’s not in my sewing box and not in the pocket of the jeans I was wearing last night. I’m sad. I have other thimbles but they do not feel like my favorite. :(

Dear World, welcome to the weekend. My plans this weekend include working on this quilt and going to a pumpkin farm with my daughter and her little family. The quilt is looking nice.,I’m getting excited to see it finished. #startrek #quilting #handquilting #quilt #gift

I’ve made great progress on the baby quilt I am gifting to my coworkers grandbaby. The baby is due in October. This will look lovely with some handquilting. #startrek #quilt #quilting

Here is my quilt progress. I’m going to put a couple of baby color borders around the edge of the quilt. and a ship and moon will go in the center. I will put curved banisters where the straight banisters are but I didn’t have a curved ruler. #quilting

This guy is on my tomato plant this morning. That is a tomato #hornworm (Manduca quinquemaculata) or close hornworm relative. those white rice-looking things. Those are parasitoid wasp cocoons, #braconidwasp. The wasp larvae develop in the caterpillar, emerged, and spun white cocoons on its body

I just finished the Umbrella Corporation quilt. It’s not perfect but it’s a good representation. This is being gifted to a coworker. #quilt #handquilting #umbrellacorporation #quilting

My garden did not produce much. I think I have grown a handful of beans, 1 banana pepper, 2 bell peppers, 1 tomato and now 1 cucumber. Everybody admire the beauty. #cucumber

Quilting progress made. Quilt top has a couple of oopsies, this quilt will be full of character and should come alive with some handquilting. This will be gifted to a friend and coworker. #quilt #umbrellacorporation #residentevil

I finished assembling the Star Trek baby quilt today. As soon as the backing fabric arrives I will start handquilting. This is a gift for a friend. #StarTrek #quilt #babyquilt
