More blocks to report

[Susan Laity Price]

After my non-progress on the 40th Anniversary quilt last week I was
able to make several blocks this week. We have decided that the 4th of
July parade is a little too much for Mom so I will be staying home.
This isn't a big sacrifice since I usually sit there and do needlework
the entire time. If you take away the fire trucks, real estate
advertisements and politicians there isn't much left to a two hour
parade. OK I like the high school marching band (brings back lots of
memories of my marching days), the scout troops are cute, a few local
groups make floats. Those are worth looking up from the needlework.
Since I will be home alone all morning I will probably be able to make
another block or two tomorrow. We will take Mom to the fireworks in
the evening. She loves fireworks.

Blocks completed this week:
Fireflies # 1316b (Dave never saw fireflies until he met me)
Going to Chicago # 1312
Illinois # 1664
Road to California #1695a
Handy Andy #2839b
Attic Stairs
Birds in the Air # 1322

This makes 16 blocks out of 40 completed with 5 1/2 weeks to go.

Thanks for your encouragement last week. This is why I am reporting. I
knew if I didn't report a few of you would email me privately to kick
me into gear.

Thanks for reporting in - I was just thinking about you and wondered how you
were progressing. You're doing great!

Alllllll right, Susan. I was dubious about the possibility of your
finishing with the plan you have in mind but now I really believe You Can Do
It. Atta girl, Susan. If you can make 4 blocks instead of going to the
parade you will be halfway through, right? Polly

I'm with you on parades. Our local festival parade is televised, so the
last few years, we've been staying home and watching it on TV. This year
I went grocery shopping while DH watched the parade. One year I did ride
on the local Y float. Watching the people along the parade route was
more fun than watching the parade. :)

All right Susan! Good job! Now keep up the momentum. You can do this.
You do this well in the next 2 1/2 weeks, and you can have your 40
made with time to spare. :-)

Good going, Susan. DO you have sons? If so, you might want to use the block
"Boys' Nonsense."

Found the block and made it today. This suggestion gave me another
idea. Before I just looked at every page. I should have looked through
the index for some key words. Next time I need a cup of coffee (or in
this weather Iced Tea) I will spend some time looking through the
index. If I missed a title like "Boys' Nonsense" then I probably
missed others. I have plenty of blocks chosen but some don't mean very
much to me, they were just pretty blocks. this block made number 20 so
I am half way home.

Glad to have helped. Your message also eased my conscience about laughing at
other post!
