Yesterday I went out in the morning to use my new pruning saw and made a good dent in the work that I want to do around here. Just for the record, and after only one day, that little battery saw is awesome! After lunch I got back to quilting and finished the two veterans quilts. Mom (Glenda) made this one. Brenda made this one. She is also a longarmer and quilts about half of our quilts. But I needed another top to go on a gray back so she trusted me to quilt this one for her. I used my new favorite pantograph, Macrame. When I ordered it I had it enlarged some to be wider so this one quilts up pretty quickly. When I went outside yesterday I saw a Praying Mantis by the guest house steps. I know we have plenty of them around here but I haven't seen one in a long time. It did follow me around with it's eyes as I moved around it. I think they are pretty cool little critters.

The saw you're talking about - it is a chainsaw, right? I think I need one too. That looks like a good model.

Both quilts look nice. As I said before, I really like the one Brenda made.

Both quilts turned out beautiful. I do like that new quilting design. I am glad the new chainsaw is working out for you.

I want a scythe for garden clean up, but my DH won't let me have one! But I did get a new pair of clipping shears, which sure make the work go faster. We've got lizards, some jackass introduced to the island and they have taken over. But they really keep the spider population down.
