This was my view as I took Bear for a walk this morning around 7AM. The sun was just starting to come up. One kid had left for school 20 minutes before, and the other was moving around and getting up to leave in about 15 minutes. Bear was waiting patiently for Mom to walk him since 6:30. I'm going to need to get a reflective vest soon for these morning walks. I do wear a bright t-shirt but we have little traffic on the streets I walk.
The next street over explained all the sniffing. 5 turkeys on this neighbors lot.
Across the street from this is the trailhead/nature preserve area. It's about 2.5 miles from the greenway that crosses over I75 in Ocala
This shoo fly got hand stitched yesterday after work. I tried to tackle weeding of the garden, but it started raining with thunder.
While stitching the BITA blocks together, I had a stack of 2.5 inch squares that turned into this 20x20 little quilt. I pulled 2 of the original colors out and replaced them with similar hues from stash. The black and white (four patches on the side) will go on the back I think.
Cute blue Shoo Fly block--and your little postage style piece came out well, too. I have a lot of 2.5" squares and am thinking about using them up when I get back to sewing; meanwhile, working on Halloween placemats for my two Grandgirls...just plain fabrics--one on each side with machine quilting...a bit larger this time 14"x 17.5"...

When I was growing up , we had a dog named Bear; he was a farm dog. Such fond memories that you brought back of him. It sounds like your Bear is always on alert for wildlife. Nice treat to see the turkeys. Your blocks are looking wonderful , Deb. I wish you a lovely day. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteI'm always amazed at how the wild turkeys are seen all over the country! We just saw some this week out here in Oregon. Glad you got some sewing time in - I love your little patchwork piece!
