Midweek: now there are 30 + a good movie

 

Thirty TATW blocks on the wall!  Seven more for the project, though I'll probably make a couple of extras.

I'd like to finish them up (the blocks, that is; making them into table mats can wait) and put the batiks away.  Then I can get going on the Stay at Home Round Robin.

I'm still watching the West Wing (up to season 5).   The show ran from 1999-2005.  Issue then are issues now: Pres. Bartlet brokers a Gaza peace deal; Then there's a diplomatic goof when he accepts the wrong Taiwanese flag to the anger of the Chinese.   But nothing in the show can compare to DJT's threats and theatrics.

I took a break from fictional politics to watch The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry.  A dear friend lent me the book years ago and I really enjoyed it.  I've read a couple of author Rachel Joyce's other books (see the review I posted on Monday).   I found out the movie was released in 2023, now on Netflix. Rachel Joyce wrote the screenplay.  It was wonderful.

    Wow you've made so many TATW blocks! That's made a dent in the scrap bin I'm sure. Can't wait to see the finish. Thanks for the movie recommendation--I'll go check it out. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

    TAW blocks would make a great quilt with sashing between the blocks.

    Your TATW blocks look just great! They'll make really fun mug rugs, too. I have loved the West Wing all these years - it's fun to watch it over again. Thanks for the movie recommendation!

    The blocks all look great. That's one of my favorite patterns.

    I didn't realized you planned to make all those batik blocks into placemats - somehow I thought you were making a quilt.
    Glad you're enjoying West Wing, we certainly did when it was on originally.
