Week 19 Block Heads Block


This has been a very busy week, and my quilting time was gobbled up by it.

Monday I did work on my Family Rules panel, but that was about it.

Tuesday a new roof was put on my house as a result of the hail storm back in April.  I had to get up at 6 AM --- not my regular schedule for sure!

Wednesday I was up again at 6 AM to work in my rose garden before it got too hot, and then I cooked for and helped with another funeral dinner.

Thursday I was back in the rose garden about 7:30 AM, (believe me this is NOT going to become a habit!), and I finally got all the grass and weeds under control.  It looks so much better, even though the rose bushes are looking a little weary with the 100 degree weather!  I was about worn out from the hours out there too!  Of course, anyone else could have done what I did in less than half the time I spent out there on the two days.  My son and DIL came over late so he could mow the grass, and of course, I cooked supper for them.

Friday I was on the way to a quilt show at 8 AM with a friend and my DIL.  I would have slept in until later except for that!  It was a really good show!  However, I was really tired when we got home.  I will try to show some of the pictures tomorrow hopefully.  

Today, Saturday, I did sleep in until 8:45 AM, and it was so nice!  Then I got the laundry started, read a lot of blogs, and just took the day easy.  I did get the binding sewn on the Family Rules panel, and almost half of it whipped down.  Then I got my Block Heads Week 19 block made.  It took longer to decide on the fabrics than it did to make it.  I decided to use my Eleanor Burns Flying Geese Ruler, which I love because they always come out perfect, and much easier for me than the no waste method.   I like the way the block turned out. (Looks like there's a slight reflection in the center of the third row in the solid blue fabric.)

Next post will have some of my favorites at the quilt show; maybe tomorrow.

  1. I figured it was the quilt show in Midlothian! Wish I could have been there too. I do have plans for attending some shows in this area mostly in Sept. and Oct. Your block turned out lovely. I got mine done also but haven't posted it yet.

  2. That's quite a busy schedule you've had there. I'm a slow poke when it comes to gardening. Nice choice of fabrics for Blockhead 19. Hope you get a sleep-in soon!
