I'm making a small handbag for my daughter's MIL, and taking an unreasonable amount of delight in the just-finished little log cabin block that will be on the front flap. ☺️😄

I would never wear this one, but I could make my own version that says, "QUILT, PEGGY". 🤔

Six more blocks done for the New York Beauty quilt. Now I have to put this away for a while and work on something a little less insane. 😄

I'm up to 6 completed blocks and one more almost done on the New York Beauty. Good heavens these take a long time to make. Only 57 more to go. 🫣😄

Worked as a poll greeter for 4 hours today for our election of local and school board positions, and retention of PA judges. The turnout felt to me almost like a presidential year. We had at least twice as many voter guides printed as normal and they were in constant use. Lots of younger voters!

Fire pit, tall trees, almost full moon, and a warm Fall night.

Daylilies nestled all snug in their bed. I like doing some of this in the Fall, makes Spring a bit easier!
My daughter called me and was in a chatty mood. I put my earbuds in and weeded, raked and mulched while she talked. 3 hours and 23 minutes on the phone, a new record. 😂🤪

Got another NY Beauty block done today. It's a different gradient pack - yellow to blue. The yellow ray is a bit standout but I think it will just look interesting when it's incorporated in the quilt.
Now back to our regularly scheduled wedding ring to keep the deadline project moving along.

I originally designed the NY Beauty quilt with 9" blocks, then decided that since I already had 8" templates made, that I would use those and add a border to get the quilt size. Didn't like it, back to 9" blocks. Today I made the new templates and re-made yesterday's block in the larger 9" size.

I usually have 3 or 4 quilt projects going at a time so that I can switch it up when I get bored or frustrated. Decided to take the plunge and start the New York Beauty quilt today. Block #1. Some mistakes and I may replace it in the quilt but I think it got me in the groove.

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

Look around.
Every corner of this country is awake.
People flooding the streets not out of hate, but out of love—for each other, for freedom, for the idea that we still matter.
They want us to be afraid.
To stay home.
To be quiet.
We refuse.
This is what democracy looks like.

I don't usually give life advice but: Live your life in a manner such that other people are not hoarding champagne waiting for the end of it.
I saw a sign today that said "I have never been so disappointed in cholesterol".

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:
1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?
2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?
3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

I dropped my sewing machine off for routine service without an appointment so I was without it for a week. 6 months old and more than a million stitches. 😳🤩
Now it's back and I'm on to the next project, a Metro rings queen size for a wedding gift. Here's the box of parts.

They’re using American tax dollars to fund infrastructure in Argentina because that’s where they’re all going to flee when we kick them out of office
After announcing a $20 billion bailout of Argentina, the White House now says it's pausing $18 billion in funding for NYC infrastructure projects

Letter from the Portland War Front (humor about something deadly serious)
My dearest wife,
It is week two of the Siege of Portland, and still these barbarians will not yield to our troops. We have severed the cords of their latte machines but they are making cowboy coffee ...

I'm sitting in my sunroom chair catching up on texts and email and all of the sudden the cat crashes into the wall behind me and starts batting it like crazy, growling and howling all the way. 22 year old Pepper is going nuts.
It was a spot of sunlight reflecting off my cell phone on to the wall. 😂

Fair season continues in Lancaster County with the Ephrata Fair this week. I entered my quilt that I call "Nana's Scrap Box" (posted on Bluesky earlier) with good results - Best in Show Quilt!
I also entered a day pack/shoulder bag & got 1st in that category. 😊
Can't believe I hated Home Ec. 😄
