Memorial Day ...

 ...is more than just a three-day weekend.


And, shout out and thank you to my 9-year-old grandson's teacher for actually teaching the kids about honoring our fallen soldiers.  It was impressive that he could tell me why we celebrate Memorial Day.  As a class project they even made a lapel pin with red, white and blue ribbon and he wore it for two days... front and center....on his dirty shirt.  Did I mention he was a BOY?!

 That's not to say we didn't get in our beach time.

 

Started cool and cloudy, gradually warmed up.  Lovely Day.

 AND, spent extended sessions in the studio.

Working on Long Time Gone


 

 

Lay out the pieces on the design board next to the sewing machine.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chain Piecing on Miss Ellie. 

Finished two blocks, and made a good start on a third.

Jacob's Ladder





Trip Around the World










 

Plus Star Block.
I will admit - this one is hard!
and still unfinished, I'm finding
mistakes, even now...Oy, Vey...
This block needs some time out.

 

 


My Progress













 

 

All-in-all it was a very lovely weekend.
