Midweek: a flimsy and piecing fun

What an interesting cloud formation! I took the photo Monday afternoon at Middlefork Savanna

 I took the Janome to Sew 'n' Save in Racine for an overdue cleaning.  I did not buy any fabric but I came home with some books.   The shop has two bookcases crammed full with quilt books donated by customers. They sell them for $2.00 and give the proceeds to a Wisconsin veterans' project.  

The Quilt Digest is issue #4, 1986.  It has an article by Suellen Meyer with this intriguing snippet.  

Here's the source.  

While the Janome is away Sweetness, the Singer 301, has come out to play.   A few drops of oil and she's humming away.   I paid $75 for her about 20 years ago.  (I also have a Featherweight but it needs a new belt.)   Note to self:  buy a new bottle of sewing machine oil! New machines are self-lubricating so it's not something I have to think about . . . until times like now.

Aunt Vina's Favorite is a flimsy.  6 yards.  

More homespun blocks are in the works.
