I finally remembered to grab the camera out of the car.....

The camera has been going to school with Crispy for a photography class. I finally grabbed it out of the car this morning to take a few pictures. I went outside with blocks and a quilt top. My first attempt with the blocks didn't go so well. Rather breezy.

This has got to be one of my all time FAVORITE blocks to make. It is a Bonnie K. Hunter quilt pattern. (click here) The link goes to the pattern. I sewed strips together on Monday. On Tuesday I put one block together, but it was wrong. Took it apart and redid it. On Wednesday, I had all afternoon to sew. I was surprised when my count was..... 12 blocks.

iheart flowers has a border on it. I loved the way it looked in the quilt store on the floor with this fabric surrounding it. But after I had it sewn on, I wasn't so sure. I thought about cutting it down and adding more black....then when it was laid out for the picture, I didn't think it was that bad. Black binding and it should be okay.

 There is even a farmer flower, since it going to a retired farmer and his wife.

There were freeze warnings last Wednesday night. It really feels like fall. The sunflowers are still working their magic. 

The barn swallows must have split. In August they start sitting and gathering on the electrical wires. They start with about a dozen....By early September there are about 4 dozen lined up...squawking and talkin' away at each other.....and then they are gone.

Well, good bye camera. Be good at school!
