The answer to the question

for the post on June 26:
How many of these can I make on my vacation.

That is how many 2 inch turkey tracks blocks can I make in one week of vacation.
Well, it is 3.

I love this little patch, however, I made 3.
They are for pincushions.
One for Nancy, the lighthouse docent co-ordinator.
One for my Aunt Anna, just turned __ in the middle of July.
One for me.
I went to a rock quarry for emery (aluminum oxide)
to keep the needles and pins sharp and rust free
I will be making more. I just had more going on during
the vacation than last year when I put together about 3/4
of a tumbler quilt.
I did manage to go to that lovely tea house that I went to
last year. Now I am thinking I can make tea sandwiches,
tea cookies and of course tea for tea time at the drop of
a hat.
Make believe can be heavenly.
Back to work and squeezing in laundry, lunch and dinner prep
walking the dog, Qi gong and quilting in the hours not devoted
to work away from home. No complaints, just going at a quicker
pace than vacation/mostly a stay-cation except for 2 days
away in the mountains.

My newest project
