I finally finished block #1 of the Promises & Borders BOM.
I grabbed my needle and thread and headed to the couch last night to watch the new movie Courageous and *WOW* what a good movie it was!
While I was sitting there I hand stitched the border around my stitchery and then added the little side piece to it. I love how it turned out.
I had a hard time choosing which fabrics I wanted to do this quilt in but now after seeing the first block done I'm so glad I went with what I did.
With that block complete my hands are idle so I might as well begin working again on my crocheted afghan.
Can't wait to begin the next Promises and Border Block though! (Hurry up Feb. 3)
If you'd like to join in on the Promises & Borders quilt block you can find the link to it on my right side bar. Jenny will be posting a new block each month on the 3rd from January to October.
Those flowers in the corner are the last to be stitched and then I can sew the border around it and it will be done.
And just in the nick of time because the next block should be released within the next week. (I think!)
Not a whole lot going on this week so nothing really to post about. We've had a good bit of rain in the past two days. The creeks are beginning to go down but now the river is starting to rise. I don't believe they are predicting it to flood though.
Ohio River at Moundsville
On my home from taking the river pics I passed by the Mound. While I was stopped at the stop sign I snapped a picture. It's taken from the south side...opposite of the main entrance to the Mound Museum.
Grave Creek Mound
The mound used to be covered in trees way back when but over the years many have been removed. Now there are hardly any at all still standing.
Not sure when this photo Post Card was actually taken but it is postmarked Mar. 28, 190? I can't make out whether it's 1900, 1908 or 1909. Anyways you can see how many trees once stood upon the mound.
I love history and am happy to have found these old postcards on Ebay several years ago. I'll have to share a few more of them one day soon.
Hope you all have a great weekend!
Here's a recipe from those 70's newspaper clippings that I ran across the other day. It got mixed reviews from those in my household. I really liked it topped with a tablespoon of French Vanilla Cool Whip.
The rest of my bunch aren't big pumpkin lovers like I am so they would have preferred CHOCOLATE anything over pumpkin.
So their vote DOESN'T count!
