Two more blocks I have finished.

The first one is #40 in Barbara Brackman's blog CW BOW. It is called Order Number Eleven.

This next one I love it is #41 Red White Blue Quilt


Applique is my favorite type for making blocks.  I started with applique and it has stuck with me.

have a great week.

Another beautiful day in the neighborhood...

and the leaves just keep falling. Dick has mulched about 7 cans full this week. The ash tree in front is about empty.
We went to Springfield this morning to one of the great antique malls over there. I had a blast blowing my small wad. The hammered aluminum pot and lid is something I have always wanted and I kind of love the covered soup bowls too. They are heavy stoneware so I can heat with them in the micro.
I also got some small things too to add to a collection.
I have had one of the best weekends I can think of in a long time.
Thanks God for making it so.

What a beautiful day so far....

took a ride up north to see our daughter -- it is along a river and the trees are so pretty.
I also went to a store I have been wanting to try and I love it -- Trader's Joe's. I bought cracker slices of Cheddar, Pita chips, low sodium Chicken Broth for soup, a pie pumpkin ( which I may try cooking),etc, it was so much fun trying a new store.
I also had a nice thing come in the mail from Wendy Ireland Dragon Quilter at the board she did a wonderful job picking everything out for me.Here is a photo. Thanks Wendy in Wyoming

What a beautiful day here....

It was very foggy here this morning  but cleared up before the weather girl said it would. I believe it was 74° around 5 o'clock. I hope all of the bad weather this country has had this year is over. We are supposed to have nice weather until next week.
I took a photo of my outdoor Fall display I haven't done it for a few years. I also have two stray cats that are coming around to eat here.  One is coal black with the greenest eyes. The other is dark gray  with odd eyes but very beautiful.He came up to the patio door one night and my cat got so excited.

Have a great evening.

A cold and rainy day in Buckeyeland

It is really fall-like out there now. Hopefully it will warm and have some sun this week.
I picked up my new glasses this morning they are line free bi-focs with red frames. Very expensive which is terrible. But there is a litle guarantee with them.
I have finished the #38 block of Barbara Brackman's blog CW BOW. Ohio Star. I am having a little trouble with my sight but with the new glasses feel it will get better.


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.
