FINALE

Hey Gang, the last football game of the season is upon us.



The dedicated fans are here and waiting for the action to begin. Monacan vs Manchester.
Manchester starts the action off scoring 2 points. Monacan rallies with a touchdown but fails to make the 2 point conversion. Monacan just didn't seem to be with the program tonight. Manchester scores again to finish up the game. Final score Manchester 10, Monacan 6. All in all it was a great freshman season for the Tinsley family and friends. Memories in the making my friends. Oh, and did I mention basketball starts next week......

quiltsareQUILTED

Yeah! The quilts are quilted. (Fanciful Kitty Stack and Whack is mine)
Now we have to bind. Do we know how to bind? No, but we had a really fast lesson from Diana so I am sure we will get the hang of it. (Under The Sea belongs to Lucy)

SHUTTERS

Vanna shows off the finished product. Forest Shade is the selected color.
Shutters,

shutters,
and more shutters.
The reject plum color. Blah, it looked really bad.

The new siding is looking good.
The gang has been at it a week now and are making good progress. Some of our material is on back order and will hopefully get here on Monday.
Now we just have to paint the doors and shutters.
My flowers are being stomped down and the pine mulch is gone so we will need some time for landscaping when the gang leaves. They took the gutters off the house and we didn't realize that Katie could get through the fence without them. Lucky for us she didn't see the opening before we did. More to come.....

noplayMATT

Yeah! Monacan 21, James River 0. Put another win in the win column for the Chiefs. Monacan
came out with their game face on today. Marvelous Marvin lead the team to victory. Way to go Marvin!
Matt on the sidelines with the bum ankle. Get well Matt. One more game to go folks. What a season. Happy Birthday to Jordan L., the cupcakes sure looked good.
Wendy is sporting her new Monacan shirt. Fan support is at an all time high. Go team! Next Thursday, Manchester, home.

courtJESTER

Court Jester quilt so far. Katie has to get in on the action, as usual. I think one more row each way should do it.

Today was sewing day at my house. Lucy has 2 book covers ready to quilt.
Mine are finished and ready to go to the Fall Festival at the Waldorf School in Chapel Hill. Hope they sell!
Lucy finished the second quilt top. The mitered corners have given us a lot of trouble. We tried a new way of pining and cutting and that seemed to be easier. They look fabulous.
Wow, this is hard work. Especially when you have 5 guys beating and banging just outside the window but the new siding looks good.
How many pins do you use for one seam?
