Working on two.............


I finished sewing the last 5 blocks for the Karla Alexander pattern, The Square Within, in her book Color Shuffle.





Then I cut the squares I needed to change the log cabin blocks from 4 patches to 9 patches.  Now the quilt will be 63" wide instead of 42".  I sewed one more block after I took this photo and laid out the 5th block.

Outside I dug out the least productive tomato plant along my driveway and planted a Hosta that has been in a pot for over a year.  I decided there won't be any tomato plants in the center of that area next year.  The ones on both ends do much better than the middle position.  Then I took out one of the volunteer plants (that has been growing in a pot) since it was almost done producing.  It had 5 little tomatoes on it, 3 of which were green, and I brought them in the house to ripen.  Two more days above 70 and then the 50s.

  7. I LOVE the nine patch log cabin stars -- hooray for changing the design. Our tomato plants have been gone for a long time but one stubby variety surprised us with a complete second crop (now finished).
