Midweek: it's a flimsy

 We've had glorious weather with lots of sunshine and low humidity.  Ideal for hiking.  Three more forest preserves checked off the Hike Lake County list:   Fort Hill Trail and Singing Hills Farm on Saturday and Buffalo Creek on Monday. 

Cormorants on a rock in the Buffalo Creek reservoir.  


Singing Hills was a dairy farm.



Purple coneflower, ironweed, velvetleaf. Vervain, Maximilian's sunflower, goldenrod.  More goldenrod, stiff goldenrod, false sunflower. 












Zion Woman's Club started the club year yesterday with a potluck luncheon and a program about chair yoga.  September is National Library Card Sign Up Month and we showed off our library cards.  (ZWC was instrumental in starting the Zion Memorial Library, now Zion-Benton PL, in 1937.)

The light blue/light green Ohio Stars are a flimsy.  












I added eight light blue nine-patches for for my other RSC project.






 


I will pick up Carolyn at MKE at noon. We're headed to Madison for the Wisconsin Quilt Expo and some sightseeing in south central Wisconsin.

  6. I thought about going back to the color of the month for the hand sewing I am doing, but then I really want it a mixture over rainbow. Maybe rainbow would look better, who knows.
