Blocks of the month and other finishes

I managed to finish the Out of my comfort zone quilt and a table runner last week in between other activities.  I'll try to get pictures of each if/when the sun appears.  It's been very unpredictable lately.

And this morning I finished Blocks of the Month for May!

There are five 8" log cabin blocks and two 9" Traffic Jan blocks, along with a hexie flower that I made for one guild's block lottery.  The latter was finished at my Saturday sewing group a week ago Saturday.  It took quite a bit of time, but the light there is great and good for hand sewing.

Yesterday's state guild meeting went well.  It's so nice to attend as a "civilian" (non-officer)!  As historian, I have very few real duties although I have been organizing 40+ years of papers in order to turn them over to the state historical society archives for safe keeping.  I am planning to run a block of the month activity on the guild's website and Facebook group, but I don't think I'll start until I've figured out what blocks to include.  People seemed quite interested when I showed them the blocks for 1989 (10 year anniversary) and several others.   

Happy Mother's Day to all who read this!  We are heading to see The Sheep Detectives at the movies.  They always have subtitles for Sunday matinees.  We'll stop at the bowling alley on the way home for pizza.  They make the best in town.  My biggest question for the coming week is...  what UFO should I work on next?  Stay tuned!
