Corn Day

Last Saturday our day began in Phillip K’s corn patch, filling buckets with Incredible sweet corn.

Even the younger children helped.

Paul’s mom was a trooper and …

… stuck with the job until it was done.

Daddy took his place at the hot stove.

Silking and cleaning. They look like they are having fun!

Cutting the last of the corn off the cob and bagging it up for the freezer. Little Delta Joy gets special attention from her Great Gramma Graber.

The young cousins earned this swim after helping so well.

Nine Patch Quilt

I just finished sewing all the double nine patch blocks. Now I’m ready to sew the blocks together to make the quilt top.

… as a Quilter

Some of us ladies with the Possum Town Quilters went to Jackson to the Ag Museum to …

… to honor these 2014 Outstanding Mississippi Quilters.

We could have spent more time at the museum.

Lawana S. from our guild was one of the ten. She had this log cabin quilt and …

this quilt displayed in the museum along with the other quilts of the honorees.

My “nine patch” is still a work in progress. I have 12 blocks yet to go.
