Long Time

Sorry for such a huge gap in posts. This summer has been crazy. I showed my Appaloosa mare at all the Rose City shows. We had a good year. We placed in at least one class at every show. The last show at the beginning of August was a bit rough. We were doing great in our classes and at the lunch break I decided to work her because she was fighting me. Well, she decided that she had enough of me and decided to take off as fast as possible. I thought for sure that she was going to run through the fence, but she stopped and off I went. I was very lucky that I didn't hit the fence or the fence post. I landed right next to them. When I got up and started to walk my pant leg was stuck to my knee, so I pulled it up and come to find out I had a huge gash in my knee. I ended up having to call the DH to take me to the emergency room for stitches. I have a nice scar.

I've been sewing more show clothes as well. I bought a bunch of fabric at Field's to make more shirts. I haven't gotten to that fabric yet, but I'm hoping that this winter I will get lots of sewing done. Tonight I busted out the Double Delight mystery quilt from Bonnie Hunter. It started on New Year's Day and I haven't finished it yet. My machine was being troublesome so I had to work through that before I could get one section sewn. The day was too nice today to sew and the dogs and I spent most of the day outside. As it gets colder I will get back to sewing.
