Kool Kat done; Judy's June mystery progress; Homemade French fries???

I snuck in some time this afternoon .... {{okay, so I didn't "sneak"....I just sewed allllllll day!!!}}
Kool Kat is in the washer, quilted and bound. I will need to make up a label tonight since this is a donated Quilts 4 Kids from my stash. The quilting was a fast, simple, edge-to-edge loopty-loop.

And then, once that was finished up (around 3:30), I figured it would be a perfect time to work on Judy's June Mystery Step #4 before I needed to start thinking about dinner....

I didn't realize it was such a quick, fun step! :0) I'm liking my fabric choices so far :0)


Have you ever attempted making homemade french fries? Through trial-n-error, DH has finally mastered the method! {{yes, I will give him credit! He's quite the chef when he wants to be!!!!}}.
First, slice your potatoes to your liking. We usually just punch 'em through this fry maker.
Then (and this IS an important step!), lay them out between two towels and rub gently to dry as much moisture as possible.
Once the fryer is ready, fry 'em up for a bit. Time really depends on how thick the fries are. You don't want to COMPLETELY cook them yet, so remove and let them drain for a few minutes (2-3). Then....(and this is the SECOND important step)....fry them AGAIN until they are crispy brown.

Okay....they're in the fryer right now, so I gotta run!

Tonight's agenda? Probably Dizzy, QOV Mystery 22, step #4. I might also consider working on the BOM. July is RIGHT around the corner already.

Another Q4K -- {and he's measuring}!!!

Olivia Likes All: quilting was completed this morning and binding sewn on shortly thereafter. Quilting was the "Chinese Crescents" pantograph in red thread. It's a nice, simple, and not-so-dense panto ;0)

Doggy Delight. Also quilted with "Chinese Crescents" pantograph.

Flower Child. Quilted with a meander and flower-outline.

So...all three kits are finished, bound, labeled, WASHED, and ready to be shipped back to headquarters. And since this pattern doesn't take ALL that long to piece together....{{one hour and 20 minutes pretty much from start to finish}}

How could I resist not cutting up this adorable cat fabric for some little child?!?

So, Kool Kat is pieced and ready for quilting! Later this afternoon maybe....

in the meantime...

Him: You. Here. Now.
Me: Umm...okay....
{{following Him downstairs...}}
Him: How many outlets you want?
Me: How many breakers am I allowed?
Him: One.
Me: Iron and machine really shouldn't be on the same breaker.
Him: Okay. Two.
Me: Okay. Then two outlets on each wall would be great.
Him: {{standing back, "admiring" the space}}. Alright.
Me: So, have you thought more about drywall or pine?
Him: {{more looking around the space, arms crossed....}}
.......
.......
.......
Me: {{hearing no answer...}}Do you need me for anything else?
Him: No.

He wasn't a man of many words just now, but WHO CARES?!??! This MAY mean that my walls will make an appearance soon!
