sakon76Squiddle has turned into a bit of a backseat driver. Yesterday, on the drive home from my parents', he kept telling me "Green mean go. Go, Mummy!" :)
One of the disadvantages of having joined a second quilting guild is that most months the meetings are back-to-back: second Tuesday evening, second Wednesday morning. That said, I'm now starting to feel like I'm "relaxing" into the second guild and acting as a part of it rather than just an outsider.
My first guild, however, is the one for which I run the Block of the Month. And this month I did another designed-by-me block, a nondenominational winter holiday of choice tree, decorations optional. And like the pumpkin block I designed two months back, all 30 of my printouts flew out the door! I had people taking pictures of the instruction sheet on the board, and was telling them the block should be up on the website soon. So, thus far, the seasonal blocks designed by me are popular!
Though it doesn't feel like autumn here. The last couple days, and today, the temperatures here in Anaheim have been in the 90s. So the house gets shut up in the coolth of morning and opened back up when the heat breaks. Yay for passive thermal management techniques. Today I need to pack the boys into the car and do a thrift store trawl, looking for a juice pitcher and some nice outfits for Squiddle and Jazzy, as our annual family photo is in a week and a half....
