And one more for Sewbiz and I'm off to the lake for at least a week I hope. Beautiful cool day just hoping the wasps and hornets aren't out in force. Last weekend dh leaned over the recycling bin and one stung him right on the ole fanny. He wasn't a happy camper

Then I found some green batik that I'd originally considered somewhat beauty-challenged, but I looked at it more closely and hey! It's seaweed! Hope you like the little ocean scene, Joanelizbay! This one was so much fun to make.

But at 10:30 I was hand sewing one of my blocks by flashlight. Hey, pioneers did it. Had to charge my phone sitting in running car so someone could call me if I needed to head to the bathtub. But 10 hr power outage was the worst we suffered. Bad part about DH working overnight. Dogs are not very good company in the dark or in a storm!

My son was here because I had made them some supper & his wife called frantic because the sirens were going off. They live 10 miles north of us. He said I'm listening to the tv & my phone is getting updates it is just a warning. She said (and I could hear her panicked voice shouting to him) why is everyone coming out into their yards instead of into a safe place. He had to laugh & said, well that's what they do, they come out to check the weather for themselves. She's from East Chicago, I guess they don't do that there. But he got home safe with chicken & dumplings & cupcakes! Maybe I can sew by daylight today. Or even machine since the power is back on.

Gratefully no deaths or serious injuries reported from all the storms, just a LOT of property damage. Many corn fields totally flattened!

And everyone's blocks are gorgeous!
So glad you and your family are safe. Thank God.

Cheers![ATTACH=CONFIG]556840[/ATTACH]
I like both fabrics, but I think for my vision I like the solid or tone on tone fabric. Thanks for asking.
