Wed., August 7, 1935 - Mom and I mowed more lawn this morning. Grandad walked out to Ola's this morning for threshing. He was home again for dinner. We baked bread and a meat loaf for Alma for the Luther League Convention that is meeting here today and tomorrow. Mom went down town tonite and went to the convention vesper service at the church. Came home with Alma.
Thurs., August 8, 1935 - Finished the top of my star quilt this morning! Hurrah! Mom and I went to church tonite to the League Convention. Walked home with Alma.
Fri., August 9, 1935 - Worked on a quilting design this p.m. Cleaned up house in a.m. Went to lodge tonite, just 5 there including Verna Ditman. There was no lunch committee so Alma took us to Bohe's and treated us.
Grandma got her star quilt pattern on May 25 and here she had it all pieced by August 8. Never mind that she was also busy picking cherries and canning this and that, going to a dance out of town and losing some silverware, mowing the lawn, cleaning the house, and running around with Grandpa on occasion. Oh, and she finished a quilt she had already started before diving in to the star quilt. I knew she was an amazing go-getter, but wow!
And here's an undated photo of Grandma looking fabulous. And wearing a hat, which she normally did not do. Hurrah!
