Every year the Lake County Forest Preserves designates 14 trails for Hike Lake County. The challenge is to complete seven of them, record that on a log, and submit it to LCFPD by November 30 to get a commemorative patch. We began doing HLC in 2000 -- with me on the trail and Stevens guarding the parking lot, as you've seen in so many photos.
Top right: a dozen young rabbits hopped across the trail. Center: tansy. Bottom: there's a scenic overlook; mountain mint; end-of-day over the savanna.

Michael Nardi is one of the reasons our quilt guild has had a resurgence of enthusiasm and membership in recent years. He told us his quilt journey at the meeting Wednesday.
From sewing lessons at a Joann Fabrics in Chicago to huge fan and personal friend of Jenny Doan and Missouri Star Quilting to published designer (American P&Q, Fons & Porter) -- and his first fabric line will come out this fall from Andover.
He designed and made these quilts. You can find him on Etsy at Bryn Mawr quilts.

In my studio:
I'm calling my version Peace, Love, and Phyllis because of the focus print.
I've sewn and trimmed all 96 of the cutaway triangles.
I put them aside for the time being because I'm working on the next round of the guild round robin.
M.D. provided an array of Tilda prints to complement her center block. I made nine-patches and now have to set them.
My to-do list today is to catch up on estate affairs (getting there), work on the Woman's Club yearbook, and stay cool.
Linking up with Finished or Not Friday
P.S. Tomatoes from my garden. More to come.
