FRIDAY'S FROLIC, et al

 

My Old Italian Blocks are mounting up....
They are such a fun project...
Using up stash cut-off fabrics...
I spent this morning cutting and setting up the
next batch...


Some 6" squares and 2" strips and possible
strip fabrics....
I am sticking with reddish-pinkish 
2" squares for the centers.

I don't know  yet if I will enlarge the 
colorways  for a totally
scrappy look or not.  I need
to get more blocks up on 
my design wall
to decide that....

************************
My small gardening season has
definitely come to a close:
Our Fern pathway along the front walkway 
has begun to sport yellows and rusts as they
fade away....
and
A few lonely, petit marigolds
have bloomed since we've had rain...
I will dry them for a few more seeds...

A Youtube friend, (Susan Hiles Art), and I
have exchanged seeds collected for
next year's planting--hoping that we
get growth and blooms from them.
She sent me marigolds, zinnias and
calendula seeds...
i am storing them in my fridge to
winter them over...
πŸ’• thanks so much Susan 😊

Winged Strings is all pin-basted
...and ready to be quilted....

I have finally hand quilted 
Autumn Stars around all the star points
I love how the white quilting shows on the 
nighttime back starry sky fabric.
[I don't know if you can make it out on the 
turned over square near the edge
 on the right hand side]

*******************************
We ordered a take out pizza as
 a luncheon treat
this noon with pepperoni:
When Tom got it home it had 
spicey ,super hot tofu bits on it instead of
the pepperoni!! 
A total
disaster from our point of view!! 

UGH from the two of us...!! 
we couldn't stomach it...

[I know it's good for you, and many
of you like tofu, but it plays
havoc with our tummies!!]

What a disappointment--
Could this be 
Friday 13th JOKE?????
πŸ‘ΏπŸ‘ΉπŸ‘ΊπŸ’€
NOT FUNNY!! 

That's the status here today,
