Happy Canada Day

Today is Canada Day. We are celebrating the 147th birthday of this wonderful country I call home. I have been away from my home for nearly 4 weeks. I was with my daughter for the birth of her first baby.

Then I was  home  long enough to prep a couple of BTCT blocks and flew off to Wisconsin for 5 days with my husband on a business trip where it rained more than an inch every day.  Watched the mighty Mississippi River rise daily between eating and stitching and getting to know more Guernsey people.

This is BTCT block #2. The tops of 2 of those red leaves will touch the corners if I do all the blocks 16 inches. I cut the squares 18 1/2 inches and  might just leave them that size. Then I will have to adjust the length of the borders by a few inches. Hhmm. I will have to think about that for a while.

The July Ben Biggs pattern is out and so is the next CCCQ block and my old printer is not responding to commands, but talks to me in the middle of the night. I bought a new one a month ago and am just now home and trying to set it up. It was half price and is a copier/printer/scanner/fax. And,  it will print legal and extra large pages. Or, I could unpack and do laundry, or pull weeds, or prep a few more blocks, or get groceries, but it is Canada Day and everything is closed so I guess I will . . .
