Double Release - Blocks 79-81 and 82-84

Hope you all had a great Mother's Day! We spent ours on the back deck watching the birds at all the bird feeders and smelling the mayday flowers.

Weeks 27 and 28 are being released today, Monday, at the same time. So on Tuesday May 23 you will have a breather if you manage to complete all 6 this week. Finicky blocks are about half and half. Remember, the final seams can be pressed in different directions or pressed open so the block lays flat.

On the down hill Blocks 76-78

It's been a busy week. Computer problems. Geesh what a pain! Very happy it's May. The grass is almost all green, the trees have their tiny leaves, the rhubarb is 9" high and the baby magpies are serenading. 

This week's women. One began the Grey Nuns, one began the Canadian Army Medical Corps Nursing Service and one engineered peaceful discussions for the fur trade. I've come to believe that Canada great because of the ingenious women of yesteryear.
Go girl go!

Halfway - Blocks 73 to 75

Halfway! For me the year begins in September not January. So, in my corner of the world halfway is when mother nature starts waking up all the trees and flowers, and the birds are nesting. This year the mayday tree and especially the rose bushes are early. And that means life begins anew.

Woohoo, we are also halfway to 150! The program has gone unbelievably fast. No matter if you are just saving for later or just beginning or up to date, it's been so much fun. We love seeing all your blocks on the facebook group 150 CW Quilt Along. All of you are doing so well.

This week two of the women learned their way around the courtroom and the third learned her way around the sky. Even though we have already learned about 72 amazing women, I am still amazed at how the women no matter where they were and what they did, met the same doors, looked through the same windows, worked their way through the same adversities and accomplished so much more than they probably ever dreamed of. They all pursued what they loved. It makes me proud to be a woman and very thankful I am.
