Janice, thank you for the push to get the blocks out before Thanksgiving. I am glad the post office is willing to cooperate.
SBG sounds like a tasty Thanksgiving is in the works. Condolences to you all for the loss of your BIL. I'm glad Marty is hanging in there.
Beautiful block, Terriamn!
One set of my grands came down this past weekend. We went to Chalmette Battlefield where the older two were excited to walk through history. PBS is running a Ken Burns series on the Revolutionary War which fit in perfectly with our Battlefield tour. This Battlefield is considered by some the very last battle of the Revolutionary War (War of 1812 with Britain) fought after the peace treaty was signed. We had no more problems with the Brits for our independence after the Chalmette battle. The whole time there I kept thinking I needed to put my patriotic quilt together.
We also went to the Children's Museum where they had a blast. The bubble rectangle -- stand inside a square and physically pull the soap soaked square up to wrap yourself in a bubble -- was a great effort for the three of them in the middle. The kitchen/market zone was loaded with huge plastic fruits and vegetables and cook lots of cooking utensils and kitchen clean up toys. The best one I've seen! Lots of urban resilience lessons, too ,and a running river project that lets everyone get water everywhere. The playhouse was designed by one of my favorite local artists, Terrance Osborne. Great funky colors and angles to the playhouse with positive notes "Kindness is free" kind of feel good messages. Plenty of windows and doors, all children size, for the kids to use their imagination. I was very impressed. I need to finish my New Orleans quilt using inspiration from this museum.
It is funny how I relate everything I do back to quilting. Very few people in my world understand my fascination with quilting and creativity. I am so glad I can share this with you because I suspect you completely understand!
