 A new block comes up every Friday to sew. Here is block 3  from last week.

BEAUTIFUL OAK TREE

What a big beautiful Oak Tree. Look how the branches branch out gracefully.

The location is in Bath Township. The limbs are as big as some trees.

The wind was blowing through the tree  and was a beautiful sight to see.

Click on picture to enjoy how it looks. Only God can make such a beauty.

 This is a 6-8 foot cactus Tree covered with blossoms in February. Click on picture to see it up close.

 The maintenance man  told me to break off a start and it would grow. We took several clippings  and none of mine  developed but here is a picture of my son's. Both have started to grow now in the month of July..

NABBY'S DOWRY SEW ALONG BLOCK 1

 This was a challenge to make with 2 inch half square triangles.The first picture is a close up of it. I have my corners okay and it measures 6 1/2 inches.Starting in July you are to make 162   1/2 square triangles and 46 light
 2 inch squares and each Friday a new block will come up to do.So that is a lot of cutting I am using Easy
 Angle ruler  and when I sew them together they come out perfect 2 inches. I think when done it is to be
 36 inches.

City Streets Ben Franklin BOM

The streets were in bad shape, there was garbage everywhere and at night were too poorly lit to navigate. Ben convinced the good public of Philadelphia  to pay for street repair, hire a team to collect garbage and to sweep the streets. Ben invented a cleaner lamp for the street lights in 1736 Ben organized the Union Fire Company  the first volunteer fire department in the colonies.  Here are my 4 blocks for this month.
