After the Rotary breakfast meeting I had a couple of errands. It was too early for lunch so I took a 2-mile walk at Lyons Woods.
Upper right: lobelia is such a beautiful blue!
Upper left: I picked a handful of blackberries and carried them in a tissue. I had them on my oatmeal this morning.
If you look in the center you'll see a bluejay.
It was a beautiful warm and sunny evening. Instead of sewing I went to the bandshell and heard Mariachi Universitario. I spent some time looking up mariachi history on Wikipedia -- I learned a lot!
Concerts like this are fine to attend on my own, though I do miss my date!

Bonnie Hunter's Hopscotch Butterscotch pattern uses 20 blocks. I may make more. I am in no danger of running out of 2" squares or strips.
Time to report on my July goals. (1) label and donate the wheelchair-sized quilts I made last year. (2) make the July top-along (3) Make the July aqua RSC blocks for my ongoing project.
I didn't accomplish #1 but I did #2 and #3.
Linking up with OMG July and Finished or Not Friday
Finishing two of three goals is a pretty good average I would say. I love those aqua strips. That's a colour I don't seem to have in my stash. Does that mean there has to be some stash acquisition?
ReplyDeletenice BH blocks! when i lived in boston i would often drop in at fanueil market after work for a quick bite and it's communal seating....always met interesting people...lots of tourists...i never felt alone when i lived there. i was in my late 40s and it was the young, single career gal life i never had earlier...
ReplyDeleteThose aquas are SO pretty. Glad you decided to go to the concert - looks like a nice night for it.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to know you're still going to the concerts and enjoying them! The hopscotch blocks are so pretty and colorful - they'll make a fun quilt. Reaching two out of three goals of the month is perfectly fine!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on using up so many scraps. All your projects are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a fun concert.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful night to go to the concert. I can only imagine how hard it is to miss your date. I admire you for continuing to go and do things. Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteThat blue/green top-along is striking, and so simple! Into the Community First! Quilters' inspiration folder it goes.

Your Hopscotch blocks are coming along beautifully. Sounds like you had a busy week even with the power outage.
