Riverboat Days are history!

Another Riverboat Days is over.  Great weather, not too hot and a nice breeze.  Nick, Laura Beth, and boys were camped by us.  Ahhhhh!

 
Here's a picture of modern camping!  The boys were playing on their tablets while parents were setting up their camper.  Easy way to keep them busy in one spot! 

There was a UFO finish this weekend!  Cozy Cabins--


Karla is hidden behind it!  Thank you Karla for holding my quilts!  Most the strips came from a box Lorri2Rs had bought.  It was a free pattern--Cozy Cabins.  Very quick and easy.  90x100" and used 17 yards of stash.  

Stash Report
Added this week--00.00 yds
Add YTD 128.80 yds
Out this week--17yds
Out YTD 199.25
I'm ahead 70.45 yards!

Earlier this summer I found a clematis on clearance, no tag on it.  A little TLC and its blooming--
The flower is about the size of my palm and I've unsure which variety it is.  I'm leaning towards the Niobe but the color is more red, so maybe a Rebecca?  Consistently six petals of a very bright red/purple.  If you know please tell me.

Gorgeous scrappy quilt.

Bet you had a wonderful Riverboat Days weekend with the family. Those boys are so cute.

I like the looks of that quilt. It sure would help clear out some of my strips.

Hubby didn't take his car to Riverboat Days this year. It was raining here, so he figured it was there too. We saw the pictures of the flooding in Sioux Falls. Wow!! Hubby's cousin said they had just under 7.5" of rain in Omaha too (unless that was a typo in his post, he can be kind of fumble fingered sometimes).

I'm certainly enjoying the cooler weather with less humidity, but it sure makes it feel like Fall, especially the chilly mornings.

Love your Cozy Cabins quilt. Looks like a good way to use scraps too. Fabulous!

Looks like an perennial hybiscus (maybe not in your area), not a clematis. Clematis is a climbing vine, not an upright plant.

Wonderful finish! I like the overall look of it, and it would be a great leader-ender, too. How enjoyable to have family camped close by for a while.

Its been busy!  Thanksgiving has come and gone, soon it will be Christmas.  We got our vaccinations a couple weeks ago--Covid, RSV, Influena...
