Back to Quilting



No knitting today. I decided I should spend a little time catching up on my Women of the Bible Quilt blocks. This is last week's block, for the Mother of Moses. I love how this one turned out...it was fun to paper piece.

Terrible storm here tonight, we're hoping we don't blow away! Fortunately, they've dropped the tornado watch and the storm should be through in a few hours. It was so bad this afternoon they wouldn't let our children ride their bikes home from school. Almost all of the kids ride their bikes to school, so this is a big thing...those of us who drive little cars had to leave the bikes there overnight. Normally the police would pick up the bikes that were left, check to see who they were registered to and drop them off at the owner's house. But with so many bikes today, I'm thinking we won't get personalized service!

What a pretty block, Carolyn! And love your socks...I've seen so many bloggers doing socks, makes me wish I knew how knit. :-)

I like your block. The colors are lovely. We are getting those storms later tonight. We've had so much rain the last few weeks. Ugh! We need some dry weather.

Great block. Love to hear there are places where kids still ride bikes to school. Hope all those bikes get back to their proper owners *s*

What a wonderful block! We had a big storm in the night last night with tons of rain and woke up to the tornado watch...thankfully all is well here but whew...we got a ton of rain. How great that kids in your town can ride their bikes to school!

Beautiful fabric in your block. Hold on tight--windy storms are the worst.

Its a beautiful block -- lots of little pieces to check if you know how to sew a 1/4 inch! :-) Hope no one was blown to Oz...
