Baby lovie and burpie set

Here's they results of my first efforts to work with chenille.  Much harder than it looks!  Came up with this set of burpies and a lovie, but don't plan on making anything else soon, at least not for a day or two! 

I do have a couple of ideas I would like to try, so it may not be too long.

I did make three more shoo-fly blocks today.  I really like the way they turned out, but don't have the right fabric for sashing and borders. 

So I started on another project - a table runner to use up some of my odds and ends.  I think it's going to be alright.  I need some items to donate to an auction this weekend anyway. 

The lake is full!

Here's a picture of our lake that I took this afternoon from up the road close to where you turn in off the blacktop.  The buildings in the background are ours, so when I say I'm quilting in the country, I really am!  There was a lot of water running into the lake today, and the wind was really blowing from the south, so the lake was choppy and dirty. 

I feel sorry for everyone who is suffering from all the excess water, but it has been really dry here for the past three years, so we did need a lot of rain.  It could hold off for awhile now, but I'm never going to wish for it to stop raining.  One day it will.
