Still on vacation, yes, until Tuesday. I am going tomorrow to see my friend Christine who I have know for the last 39 years. I haven't physically see her in14 years though we speak all the time. I am nervous as I have gotten rather FAT and she is still pretty like a model. Oh, well!
My elderly neighbor gave me 80 quilt blocks in the monkey wrench pattern that are made in 1930's vintage fabric. My mother is having her 80th birthday on August 9th and I am going to quickly throw a quilt top together and give it to her without it actually being quilted. Then I'll talk to her and find out how she wants it finished and will go from there. I figure, a vintage 1930's mom, a vintage 1930's quilt, very fun! I am going to do a customized block and have everyone sign it in India ink with birthday wishes. Tremendous fun all around!
Here is an example of the block:
Bill, mijo, thinking about you and the corn. The world keeps going even when we need a break.
