On Wednesday the Zion Woman's Club (Kathy, Jeanne, and I) staffed the t-shirt sales table at Camp I Am Me. The Illinois Fire Safety Alliance sponsors the week-long overnight camp for children and teens who have suffered burn injuries. This is the 34th year and there are 52 campers from all over Illinois. There's no charge to the campers (even transportation is provided). YMCA Camp Duncan is a century-old campground that used to be way out in the country.
There was a parade with fire trucks from departments all over the area, sirens wailing. Brats and burgers for lunch.
The Zion Park District summer concert series began yesterday with Hollywood Swinging, a tribute band for Kool and the Gang. Not my usual kind of music but fun (and free!) on a beautiful evening. Though pushing S across the grass in the wheelchair had become a challenge, I missed his company. Yes, I could have called around to find a friend to join me but I made the decision to go at the last minute. Glad I did.

I had to do some ripping and resewing to get the blocks oriented correctly. I don't think there will be a border. 66 . 72. 6" blocks.
Linking up with Finished or Not Friday

ReplyDeleteFun concerts in the summer. It's a nice way to get out, meet new people and enjoy music! I like your flimsy. What a great use of scraps!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteGlad to see nice clean zigs and zags marching along the top--I hope Jamie was worth the distracted sewing!
ReplyDeleteA wry smile on my lips at "...used to be way out in the country." Trips I take as a matter of course these days to get through our growing suburb used to be adventures in not getting lost in the "wilderness".
