I am in a great mood today. Yesterday I sat down at the sewing machine and made some quilt blocks. It felt so good to be there. And I hadn’t forgotten how either! I made four Jacob’s Ladder blocks. The Churn Dashers of Tidewater Virginia are exchanging these blocks at our coming fall meeting. We are making a Block A and a Block B….with the “ladder” leaning to the left for Block A, and the “ladder” leaning to the right for Block B.
For everything there is a season, and last week we took a long last boat ride around the lake. Isn’t the sky just beautiful? Penny and I always like to ride up in the front, with the wind in our faces.
Penny and “The Captain” while we were waiting to take the boat out of the water. We towed it up to Traverse City to the dealership where we bought it, and they are selling it for us.
What have you been doing this week? Please join in our Design Wall Mondays Linky Party and let us see your projects. I enjoyed visiting many of your blogs on Saturday, and I am looking forward to reading updates later today. Thanks for participating. Join by linking up below. Thanks!
It is so nice you finally had some time to sew. Are you keeping the boat or was this the final good-bye? I made a Jacob's Ladder years ago using Bonnie Hunter's free pattern from her website. I never thought of make reverse blocks, that would make it more interesting. Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteI hoped one day we would have a bought for the wind in my face - glad you are back to the machine.
ReplyDeleteThose blocks will be wonderful in a quilt. Great choice! I’ve always had the dream of having a boat - but then I married a guy who does NOT want to be on a lake or river in any capacity. So much for that dream. We live a mile from a lake - so close and yet so far. LOL
ReplyDeleteOh I love jacob ladders - this is going to be so cool!
