Friday....

A full day of working for me today. Grandma took the kids off my hands, they were going stir crazy. They have been off school since last Friday. They go back on Monday and things are getting back to 'normal' in Marion County Florida. We did drive through some different areas yesterday (one road was under water to bowling so had to find an alternate route and the kids got to see how lucky were were in our section of town. Power lines and trees still down in lots of places).

The lines for gas have gone down and more gas stations are getting filled. The power is coming back up for people daily and there are a lot less people without power than a few days ago. Patience is a good thing.

I have added the pink, green and most of the yellow the last few days to the hand pieced trip around the world top. These are 2 inch squares I am adding. It was about 48 inches at the end of the pink round. Orange is next, then a medium and calmer blue and then Emily will find a purple to go after that.

Until then I will just stitch away.

Glad that things are starting to get back to normal there too. It is a long slow process.

Wow, I'm impressed, a hand-pieced trip around the world. Looking very pretty. Happy to hear that you were not too seriously affected by the storm.

While I continue to follow the Florida / Irma story and the state is still in much distress, I am so glad to hear that things are ok on your end ( and other bloggers that I follow )

You have been so productive on this quilt...Love to see it's progress :)

There must be an awful lot of cleaning up and repairs to infrastructure after such a big storm. TOTW is looking really good.

Glad to hear things are getting back to "normal"! It's good to have hand-stitching to help get through the stress.
