chookshed challenge

the number drawn was 10 but since i have been a flunky most of the year, i chose to start my "wensleydale" project.  i doubt all 60 blocks will be finished this month but hoping a serious dent.  here are the latest ones.  



i am really like these blocks.  they do take a serious amount of fabric tho, and while i have a healthy stack pulled, might have to "shop" for more.  

God is good indeed....a new vacuum cleaner appeared at the apartment recently...now to take the old one apart and send it down the trash chute.  anything that can fit in a trash bag goes that way.  the new is cordless (no tripping), lighter and powerful enough for all those threads.  feeling very blessed indeed!

Back to early summer for a couple of days before rainy Easter....no plans so doesn't matter to me.  

finally, the late Tony Campolo wrote a book, "It's Friday but Sunday's Coming," meaning the darkness of Good Friday turned joyous on Resurrection Sunday...but it can apply to any dark day you might experience...Sunday is always ahead!

  5. It's hard to conceive of what life would be like without Easter--the entire concept is the paradigm......Onto earthly matters: Wensleydale is wonderful! And hoorah for the new vacuum cleaner.
