My Friday morning shift at the church rummage sale wasn't terribly busy. The event chair said they had good traffic Thursday evening and made $698. As a volunteer my purchases were 50% off. I got a yard of woven plaid (no wonder my homespun stash doesn't seem diminished), a 64 x 82 tablecloth of quilt-weight cotton just right for a back, and a couple of other goodies for $3.75.
Yesterday I enjoyed Sunday brunch with a long-time friend. We had not visited in person for several years. No photos! We talked the whole time On my way home I observed the Crane family doing a Seurat . Grande Jatte impression. 
In the studio: It's Not Ohio Star is assembled. I may or may not add a narrow border. The units are 3" finished. 63 x 69.

Linking up with Oh Scrap! Monday Making Design Wall Monday
P.S. A perfect web shines in the forest-filtered sunlight at Chain O' Lakes State Park.
You have some beautiful places to explore in your county! Love the crane photo, too. The "Not an Ohio Star" quilt is a fun design! I liked seeing how you figured out the blocks the other day. Always look forward to seeing what you're reading. I'm reading Lessons in Chemistry, and enjoying it very much! Maybe I got the recommendation from you?
ReplyDeleteYou always have such interesting places to visit. Your crane photo made me realize that I should try to get some photos of the wild turkeys that pass through my yard a couple of times each day. We've enjoyed watching the turkey babies grow bigger each week. I love that Not Ohio Star quilt, and keep thinking that would be a great design to work on for RSC from my scraps. Hmmm - ideas, ideas.
ReplyDeleteI love the Sumac in the fall. It seems to be one of the first to start changing color and it lasts a while. That web is dazzling. I've never seen anything like it.
ReplyDeleteThat spiderweb is amazing - it almost looks like a circular galaxy in outer space!😊. Thanks for recommending “Fellowship Point” - I loved it!
ReplyDeleteI really love your Not
ReplyDeleteOhio Star! Such fun!
So many fun things in this post! I am always amazed and the number of parks and preserves you have in your area. Not Ohio Star is great! My personal preference would be for a solid border to frame it. And what a breathtaking spider web! I’m not a fan of spiders, but we can all admire their weaving skills!
ReplyDeleteI had to take a close look at not Ohio star. I love it. It looks like a great project to use your scraps. Very clever. Hum . . . I noticed my homespuns are still filling a sweater size box. I’ll have to figure something else out to try to use them up.
ReplyDeletesuch a pretty scrappy star top....
ReplyDeleteHow may I subscribe to your blog? I thought I was getting your entries but apparently I am not! Gladi mentioned you in today’s post so I came looking for you. Carol inTexas
ReplyDeleteCarol, you are no-reply. I hope you'll get this post. You can follow me on Bloglovin', Feedly, or go to Blogger and "follow."
DeleteThe crane family intrigues me. I usually see individuals walking or families in the trees. I've only seen groups like this when they are flying. Congratulations on helping at the rummage sale.
