I had a meeting Friday morning (good to get out and be sociable) and the rest of the weekend I was at home with just a couple of errands. We're on the southern edge of the huge storm with only 4" of snow. We're under a blizzard warning because it's quite windy. I cancelled an appointment this morning and plan to stay in today. Sewing and reading and, just maybe, catching up on a few no-time-pressure tasks.

In the studio: I made red "coin" panels for this year's RSC project. The pattern (shown in the photo) only calls for two panels in each color but I couldn't stop at two.
I finished making batik star and basket blocks. I had to make several batches of 1.5" HSTs that were definitely light-and-dark. (Too many of the HSTs in the box were dark/dark.) I have begun sewing the sashing.
The blocks are 4" finished so on point 6". The layout is 48 x 54 before sashing.

A powerful kid’s-eye view of the overthrow of British colonial authority in Rhodesia /Zimbabwe. Based on Alexandra “Bobo” Fuller’s memoir of the same title.
Stevens really liked all of Fuller’s books and I’m sorry he wasn't able to watch this. (I streamed it on Apple TV.) [Note the movie poster shown says “from the novel…” but the book is nonfiction. I looked it up to be sure!]
The movie makes more sense if you've read the books (particularly Don't Let's Go, the first one).
