More Than Half My Brandon Leftover Blocks are Done

I got up early this morning and was on the indoor pickleball court at 8 am. I had a blast playing! I played 8 games in two hours and every one of them was close and really fun. I won half my games, which is pretty darned good. Not one game was a run away today. It was a great way to start my day.

It rained most of the day today. I had to go into the office this afternoon and decided to take my boys and their leashes with me so if the weather took a good turn we could get a walk in. And it was gorgeous when I finished at the office so we took a three mile walk along the Willamette River.

It was so beautiful out and it felt good to get our walk in a different place. My boys were fascinated with all the smells and sounds.

Rico surprised me with some master posing skills! Bender’s expertise appears to be rubbing off on him.

Saw this amazing blooming red currant along the way.

There’s just something so rejuvenating about being near the water.

When we got home I fed my boys and grabbed dinner for myself. And just as I was getting ready to hit my sewing room I got a phone call from my friend Linda. We yacked for at least a half hour, probably more, and then I finally headed down the hall.

After such an early day and a lot of physical activity I’m tired tonight so I decided not to tackle finishing up my green quilt top. Instead, I cracked out 30 more of my Brandon leftover blocks.

That makes a total of 45 blocks that are sewn and pressed and ready to be squared up. I need 80 for this quilt top.

And there’s two of those out of print Brandon fabrics. It makes me so happy to see them in a quilt block!

I just love seeing all these fun prints and wonderful color with the graphic black and white fabrics.

One more day of work, an evening pickleball session and then I’ll be up to my neck in lambs!!! I talked to my friend with the lambs today and she said that about half of her pregnant ewes have lambed so far, so there are plenty left for my two days on the farm. And the weather looks like it’s going to be pretty much perfect! I’m so excited!

And it’s always nice to have a short work week.
