Good Morning Quilters! Happy Labor Day too!
We are not doing anything special for Labor Day, just our usual Monday activities.
We went to the first Michigan State football game Friday night. And it was a beautiful night, even if I am not fond of night games. It is our 60th year of going to football games together. Here’s a pregame picture of us in front of Beaumont Tower on campus.
One of our granddaughters is a baton twirler for Texas Tech, and their first game was Saturday night. The band had a special halftime show planned, celebrating 100 years of the band’s existence. The alumni band members present (about 900 to be on the field and another 300 in the stands) planned to join the current band of 440 student musicians for an unbelievable halftime show. Well, rain came down during the first half, lightening too, and the game stopped and the stadium was emptied. When the rain stopped, the game started up again, and due to the time lost, they announced that the halftime show was cancelled. I’m sure it was a tough call by the person who had to make that decision.
One alumni posted this on the internet:
“ Such an amazing day! As an alum it was a dream come true to practice and learn a show with the current band. Bummed we didn’t get to do halftime but we made the best of it with an impromptu concert while waiting for the weather to give. As always, I am so proud to be a Red Raider and most proud of the Goin Band members past and present.”
I’m sure our Granddaughter was also disappointed, but she is such a positive young lady that she too will look at the good in every situation.
This past week’s triangle production was pretty good. I have two more to make to complete the right side border of thirteen triangles. My Jane Stickle borders on the design wall look like this right now:
Paper piecing still confuses me, but I am soldiering on. Several times I think I have the fabric in the right place, and find out that I don’t. Or I have it in the right place, but it is a shirting fabric when I was wanting an indigo fabric……or vise versa. I hope to finish the right side border this week, and put the bottom border up on the design wall.
What are you working on this week? Please join our Design Wall Monday Linky Party below to show us. Thanks for faithfully participating. I really enjoy reading your blogs and looking at your work.

You are really going to town on Dear Jane! I hope you find some time today to complete one or two more, happy stitching!
The Dear Jane blocks are looking good, even if you had to redo them a few times.
SO happy to see you again and link up with the Monday Design Wall stitchers!
And so happy to be back at my sewing machine again!
Ooh they look gorgeous...yes paper piecing can be challenging
I love paper piecing but don't do it often so I have to rethink every time
