Here it is!   63" x 77".  6 yards.

..... and of course more scraps resulted.... 

The prompt for SAHRR Round 2 is "seeing double."  I'm contemplating how to interpret that for my wallhanging.

Thirty TATW blocks on the wall!  Seven more for the project, though I'll probably make a couple of extras.

I'd like to finish them up (the blocks, that is; making them into table mats can wait) and put the batiks away.  Then I can get going on the Stay at Home Round Robin.

I'm still watching the West Wing (up to season 5).   The show ran from 1999-2005.  Issue then are issues now: Pres. Bartlet brokers a Gaza peace deal; Then there's a diplomatic goof when he accepts the wrong Taiwanese flag to the anger of ...

Welcome to Wednesday Wait Loss (especially if you’ve been following my Starry Seas Blog Hop)! I’ve got a special announcement about the hop, but first let me introduce you to my weekly link up I call Wednesday Wait Loss.

SAHRR 2026 begins today. I thought I had just the right starter block but I'm having second thoughts....I'll make the decision by Friday. Come back to see what I choose!  

Meanwhile..... I've made nine Trip Around the World blocks.   I'm using batiks so that though there are many colors there's some genre uniformity.

I found two tutorials, one with five fabrics and one with four fabrics.  Both involve sewing strips and making a tube, slicing the tube, then unpicking the seam to create the stepped effect.   Five-fabric is somewhat livelier but trickier to piece ...

I spent Monday visiting my sister.  After tending to some financial business we went to the Salvation Army.   I did NOT buy this sewing machine--$360 was far over-priced!  I got two books and my sister got a book and a small table.  

Monday evening the Magpies met by Zoom.  (Washington state, Missouri, Texas (2),  Illinois (2), Virginia, British Columbia (2), and Western Australia (where it was 10 a.m.))   "We need to do this again soon," everyone agreed.  And we will.

 I left for Florida (see Monday's post) with 18 9-1/2" crumb blocks on the design wall. By the time I got home on Friday I had a good idea what I'd do with them.  (Surely I am not the only quilter who mentally designs quilts as a way to fall asleep.)

On the domestic front:  every so often a puddle appeared in the basement bathroom (adjacent to the family room, AKA my studio).  The plumber checked the toilet and the seal/collar are good.  This week I saw the puddle again--and heard drip-drip-drip. Turns out it came from the dishwasher (right above the closet that is next to the basement bathroom).  The plumber popped the panel off the dishwasher and said the pipes are fine, the problem is the spray arm/drain assembly.  I called the appliance store (we are so fortunate to have a real appliance store in our town ...

Yesterday I met Lynn at the movie theater and we enjoyed the matinee performance of Hamnet.  It was very good.  I haven't read the book yet (I have it on hold).  Lynn said the script followed the story pretty well, as it should considering that Maggie O'Farrell wrote the novel and co-wrote the screenplay.

On the small screen at home:  Netflix has all of West Wing.  I hadn't watched any of it and I began bingeing it last evening.

I hope everyone here in the US had a lovely Thanksgiving. We ate a wonderful dinner ...

There wasn't much left when I went to Stiles, the produce/flower stand just over the border in Wisconsin. Susan will close up next Sunday.  She takes the holidays off and will get back to the greenhouse in January.
