My Thursday stuff

Kind of a dreary day today, cloudy and cool.  Don't have the furnace on, keeping warm enough in the house so far.  Went grocery shopping this morning and sewing more strip blocks this afternoon.  Going to try to post the photos of my bom wall hangings I've been doing since Jan.

I'm back

It's been a busy summer around here, Installed new sliding glass doors in the sun room, 5 of them.  Hope the new ones keep the winter cold out, they seem to be keeping the heat at bay.  George has removed about 8 evergreens that were either dead or dying.  It's starting to look kind of barren in the yeard.  Still got our wind and snow barrier arbor vides.

I haven't done much sewing but did start playing with a new technique this week, making string blocks from the BIG bin of left over strips I have.  I'll see if a photo will slide in here.  They all kind of look alike to me.  Maybe with sashing and cornerstones it will all play nice together.  I'm going to make up a few more blocks for a good size lap quilt.  I still have a boat load of strips, they are multiplying when no ones looking.
