After the storm

We do not have power so I am hooking up to the hot spot. The generator runs to keep the food in fridge and freezer good. But only for a few hours as we are running out of gas. I am unable to post pictures, but there is flooding everywhere. We have not had any flooding,but lots and lots of debris in our yard. This has been a very big job following a very big storm. Praying others are fareing well. Will hopefully be back once our power is restored. Thanks for the prayers and support.

Hurricane Milton

We are bracing for the impact of Hurricane Milton. It is currently heading towards the Tampa bay area, but you just don't know with hurricanes. It could move and deviate it's entrance. However wherever it makes landfall, it will be a devastating storm with widespread destruction. We are certain to lose power. For how long, we don't know. There will be many people working to get things up and running again. Thanks to the military, police, garbage pickup, and linemen. We are most grateful for their continued service to our area. After two major hurricanes, they are very needed.

Horrible Helene

In Florida there has been a lot of destruction that swept away homes, cars and livelihood.

As we drove through Tampa yesterday, this is what a lot of neighborhoods were dealing with. Whole houses were in total ruin and left on the front lawns for, hopefully, pick up. I cannot imagine the financial burden most of these people will be dealing with. We are fortunate to not live near the water, but still, it breaks my heart to see so much of my city in ruins. However we are now being advised that another hurricane, Milton, is on track for a direct hit to central Florida. Which would add more flooding to an area already hard hit. Prayers are appreciated.

September box

 Well things have stalled around here. Hurricane Helene was breathing down our necks and we didn't know which way she would go. It is always Russian roulette when it comes to hurricanes.  But I did received my September Sew Sampler from the Fat Quarter Shop. And as always, there are fun things to explore.

I love the Jolly Bars so this was a real treat! And of course a new 5 1/2" square ruler will be most useful.

Have fun and Happy Quilting!

It is finished

 Unfortunately I could not get a picture of the quilt with the new mama, but here is what it looks like.
