Well, I finished my book, the quilter's mystery that my daughter gave me. It was a nice, easy read who-done-it. This is the kind of book that I enjoy for a change of pace. Another thing that I like, in quilting, is the pinwheel. I like the movement that it creates in the quilt. With that in mine, today's block has a pinwheel theme. It is called Spinner.

Another soup night is over. The grandbabies were over for chili and chocolate cookies. Fun and games was played by all until the parents came to pick them up. It is wonderful to have them so close. Tomorrow I need to get everything ready to go to Pierre. I will be teaching at a retreat this weekend. I have to make sure that I am prepare for the class and truck show. Today's block is made of half square triangles and 4-patches. Here is Prairie Queen.

I might be a planner. I really don't like to fly by the seat of my pants. I don't accomplish much and I usually get a hole in my pants. Having children has altered my plan making abilities a little, but it still makes me uncomfortable. Terry is the same way. She loves to plan ahead. And she loves to help you plan ahead. If you're that kinda person. That's why she has taken on our new Block of the Month. In November, it's hard to think about summer. Or at least next summer. I'm still thinking about last summer. <sigh> But by getting this BOM started now, you will have a beautiful, patriotic quilt done just in time for the 4th of July.
To help you out, Terry has started her YouTube video tutorials for this project. The first month is right here:
