A bit of this and that...

First of all, I just have to share my daughter's latest quilt top.  It still needs borders but that won't take long.  BTW, this is on a queen bed here.


This is her own design...she first started the one in the second photo in This post... but soon as she got this fabric, she couldn't wait to try it out.

****************





Thought I would show you a pic of Puss Puss...I usually show Bubbie simply because he is easier to photograph.  She will seldom be still long enough.

*******************
Letters From the Dust Bowl by Caroline Henderson (the link takes you to Amazon where you can read about the book) is my current read.  It is good...consists mainly of letters she wrote to a friend and also to another farmer.  Interesting to read.  It shows what a hard time it was to live through the dust bowl.  It has always been one of those subjects that catches my attention.

************
We got the yard mowed again today.  It has been raining so much lately that it has been hard to find a time when it wasn't wet.  By the time it is done, I don't feel like doing anything else.

    Your daughter's quilt is really beautiful! I'm glad PussPuss posed for her picture. It has been raining off and on here and I guess it will rain tomorrow on Derby. I bet that book is interesting. I got interested in that era when I was in KC for two years. Have a great weekend.

    Have you seen Ken Burns film " The Dust Bowl"? It's absolutely excellent ( as are his other films).

    Your daughter's quilt is beautiful! PussPuss is adorable, beautiful coloring. Letters from the dust bowl sounds a very interesting read. I remember my father-in-law telling me about life on the farm around that time. I could have listened to him for hours. We're due for a lot of rain and thunderstorms over the weekend. Hope you have dryer weather to enjoy.

    That is a pretty quilt! She must take after you. Such a sweet kitty. Reminds me a lot of our Dumperoo. Seems like most tabby cats have that same sweet personality.

    That is quite a mesmerizing quilt your daughter made. Giving her a big thumbs up.
    Puss Puss is a sweetie face. I might try the book. I have read several books that you show.
