My latest sewing project which was also a try to make it last longer project too. We had a quilt we were using as a bedspread & it started to wear out. I had done fabric roller shades, dust ruffle & valances to match this quilt. I didn't want to have to redo them to match a quilt I had gotten on sale a few years ago. So I just redid the valances & did a ruffle on the quilt it's self as it was not long enough to cover the sheets. So I was able to keep the dust ruffle & the fabric shades. I am please with the work. What do you think? The old quilt is laying at the foot of the bed, can't give it up completely. Some day soon I will repair it for use as a cold day cover.

Tree

We live in an area with a lot of big oak trees. A couple of weeks ago the county road crews were out trimming back branches that hang over the road. One of our trees needed to have some branches taken off. When they got up in the rig to do it they discovered it was hollow inside. They asked if they could cut the whole tree down. We said yes as we figured it was safer to have them do it as to have it fall down itself some time. It looks funny out there with out it. We still need to get it all cut up & cleaned out.
