A cold and windy and rainy day here in Buckeyeland

I got new glasses this morning and they are great so far I have switched from Lined Bi-focs to unlined. Red frames too.
I made the #38 block for the CW BOW from Barbara Brackman's blog.

A cold and wet day here in Buckeye land...

I got new glasses today and they are hard getting used to. I switched from lined bi- focs to unlined. I will get used to them. Very expensive nowadays too.
I made my block from 3 weeks ago Ohio Star #36 

A new giveaway

http://lavenderquilts.blogspot.com/ for some pretty fabrics. Join in right now she will draw October 1st.

September 11th is over for this year.

I watched a lot of the shows about this day 10 years ago. And it still bothers me to see those buildings come down with all the people in them. I was working that day and I remember not believing what I was seeing. It was so surreal.
I also remember the days after when the skies were so quiet. We live in the flight path for the airport . We hear planes all day usually.
I made my 37th block for the BOW Civil War QAL It is call ed Confederate Rose.

I bought this fall fabric and thought it looked good for this block. It's not a rose for sure.
I have laundry to do so I had better get started. Oh by the way I made an apple cake this week end and it turned out well.

Pretty Friday...

the sun is shining but it is still chilly.
The hunt for the best recipe for Salt Rising bread has come to a stand still. I tried a couple recipes but they were failures. No more for me I hate to waste ingredients.
I haven't sewn this week only worked on my new counted cross stitch project which is almost finished.
Went to the grocery store this morning and mailed my pkg. for my Secret Pal all the way to Washington state.It is so handy having a PO in the store.  
We are having BLT's for supper the tomatoes are winding down in our yard.

Happy belated Labor Day...

it has really cooled off here. It is only 55° at 8;25 am. I love cooler temps myself.
I have finished #36 Kentucky Crossroads for the Bow CW block

I didn't like making this one but at least I did it. LOL
I am trying to find a good recipe for Salt Rising bread. I tried one last night and it was like a brick. This bread is really different because you make a sponge and have to keep it warm at all times.
 I have finished my large Counted Cross Stitch project even though it had more across the bottom of the people ,  I left them off.

 I am going to hang it when I can figure out how.
I am already doing another one it is a sampler like done in the 1600's.
Have a great week
Darlene
