Quilt Square

There's a trail of quilt squares  on various buildings in this upstate NY area.  I'm not sure where you can get the map, but there's one available for whomever wants one.

I passed a building with this square on it today.  The squares are created by a person when someone contacts them and says they want one.  There's a charge, but I don't know what it is.

The squares are usually high on the building over the entrance door and each one is indicative of the business which is contained in the building.  Some private homes have these on their buildings as well, and it's really fun to locate them and see what they are.

Orange Sculpture

This orange sculpture of squares is located outside the art building at Hardin-Simons University in Abilene, Texas.  The middle box is the same orange as the rest, but the way the sun was shining washed it out to a lighter shade.

It's pretty interesting I guess, but it's not what I would have used as an indicator or

the art building.

Stained Glass Window

While taking a photo of a church in Colorado City, I turned around and saw a row of these pretty stained glass windows, so I decided to photograph one of them.

Red, blue, grey, tan, window sash, frames.

Quilt

When each of my younger grandchildren have turned 2, I made them a quilt for their single bed.  Each one is a different pattern.  This one was kind of fun.  

It was originally a paper-piecing quilt but because I didn't have the paper, nor the actual pattern, I just eyeballed the pieces and the angles I used to put it together.  

This youngest of my daughter's children won't be 2 until June, but all I have left is to put the binding on it, and I'll probably finish that in the next couple of weeks, depending on my enthusiasm level.

Of course, now my son has a baby boy who will be 2 in June 2026, so I'll shortly need to find a pattern and fabric for that one.  And then there's my granddaughter whose first baby will arrive this coming June.  I'll probably make that quilt early because, you know, two years is a long time for someone who's my age.  I may not be here by then but I want her (she already knows it's a girl) to have a quilt too.

Three Blankets

Three ladies in my church are having babies within a month of each other at the beginning of the year.  I decided to crochet blankets for them and I wanted to be done with them so I wouldn't be scurrying around at the last minute to finish them.

There will be two girls and one boy.  

These are fun to make, but three right in a row....I'm glad to be done with them.

My heart is grateful for:
