I enjoyed making this 16" block which went together fairly easily. I am thinking of making four blocks in various colors - red, blue, purple, yellow, with green "leaves" - for a baby quilt. Our friend Karen has a new granddaughter, born on the day of the eclipse. I am dying to know what her parents named her. I'll find out soon enough, I guess. Paul suggested "Aurora," a pretty name.
It's been a rather slow week as we recuperated from the excitement of the eclipse and Jim's visit. On Tuesday morning we took him to the Wayside for breakfast, which is something many "natives" of the area get nostalgic about. The restaurant has been in business since 1918 and has extremely reasonable prices. Always busy, it serves old fashioned food like pot roast, liver and onions, and grapenuts pudding, as well as great breakfasts, burgers, and more. Jim was anxious to get a lobster roll the last time he was here, but we couldn't find one until after he had left. This time, we took him to a different restaurant on Sunday night, and he pronounced the lobster roll great. It was a short visit, mostly to see the eclipse, but the two brothers seemed to have fun together.
I started putting sashing between my Dear Jane blocks and have a few more rows to go. Today I won't do any sewing, but tomorrow I hope to get to the guild's block of the month and the state guild's raffle block. We have a couple of busy weeks ahead with meetings and doctor's visits, but I hope to squeeze some hand sewing in, too. I have hexies ready for one block in the Green Tea and Sweet Beans (or is it the other way around?) quilt and "just" have to sew them all together before piecing a few more blocks. This afternoon we are off to the library to see a locally made movie. Friends loved it, so I hope we do.
