July, August & September went by in a blur!

• We looked after Penny, the Wigney’s dog for almost 3 weeks
• I spent 11 days up in Kalamazoo looking after Caroline, while Richard & Christina went on vacation

• My dad & sister came for 2 weeks in September and at the same time looked after Jenson & the dogs for a week while Louisa & Jon were at Interbike in Vegas and Patrick was away at trade shows
• Took my dad & sister to Chattanooga, Tennessee for a steam train trip
• Had car problems
• Robin came over from England for a week
• Sailed almost every other weekend
• Helped Louisa with the LNYC July 3 Family Day and got involved with the Independence Day Regatta
• Helped with the Highlander Club Dinner
• Did without Maria for a month
• Did RC duty for the Board Bash
• Went to the Cabarrus Quilters Guild Show
• Went to see Joe Walsh courtesy of Tom Nunnenkamp
• Finished lining & reorganizing all the kitchen cupboards & drawers
   
  On the sewing front I:

• Sewed 10 Pipers flags
• Made 11 Outdoor cushions
• Made 4 Sunroom cushions
• Recovered the 6 kitchen & 2 sunroom chairs
• Made a wall hanging from a panel Cheryl had given me some time ago
• Took up the skirt for Cheryl’s wedding outfit & got my black “rose” skirt to look normal
   
            
   
           
   
   
  My next sewing plan is to make 6(!) quilts before Christmas.  I have already pieced 2, so maybe it will all work out.
