Got last 2 blocks sewn this week & then completed sewing it all together yesterday. Wish I'd taken another pix of blocks before I sewed them in rows as I can now see where some of the same colors are too close together. Main thing was did not want stars or whirling blocks next to similar block.
All blocks from Judy Hopkins books,  Around the Block & Around the Block Again

Wow, can't believe that I just need to sew 2 more blocks.Still need to put the medium blue border around a few of these & then decide how I will do final placement of blocks & then sew together.

I was so looking forward to seeing the nice bunch of pink asters bloom this fall. I think a rabbit chewed it off🥹

Finally finished putting on the borders of the Peace Cottage quilt that I started about 8 years ago. Will have to take another pic of those stars as they were hard to do
Probably one of the hardest quilt patterns I've ever done. Used up all of the Fossil Fern background fabric of cottage & sky. 


Started marigolds from seed. Have never grown big ones before. Took all summer before they started blooming.

Have made 2 batches of chokecherry syrup. It is pretty thin, but, should thicken up a bit when I heat it up for pancake syrup😋

Fun afternoon at my craft group. Used black marker to trace around heart & star templates. Drew lines over & around them. Then used markers to color. Pretty fun time & socializing. Have really missed doing this.

Pixs taken from window inside the house. I put grape jelly out on the 2 plates about 4 times yesterday. Orioles were also drinking the hummingbird juice. Counted about 7 orioles and some must be migraters as have never had this many before.
