It took three log cabin blocks to fit all the colors I wanted to use …

Now all that’s left to do are the final rows of quilting, which should be finished today … although I may add more stitching just for the heck of it.

And there’s good news from Don’s garden …

We’ve decided the tomatoes do better ripening inside on the windowsill rather than roasting on the vine in the Texas heat.

Last, but far from least, we got to spend lots of time with these great kids while their dad was out of town on business (I’ll bet you can figure out where he went) …

So yeah, life is incredibly good.

The table cloth needs just one more strip of log cabins …

As the end of the school year approaches with lots of activities …

And then there’s this …

Surely the earliest tomato harvest we’ve ever managed.

I had so so many bits and pieces of cloth leftover from the Albers triads and painting log cabins … so I’ve been piecing pairs, then combining them into strips, and stitching the strips into blocks …

Most of the patches are whipped together with two strands of black DMC floss, for unity …

The blocks ended up being around 8” or so … but I’m not measuring at this point. Eventually they’ll be pieced together into 54” strips and added to the table cloth.

In other news, a wren family has moved into the bird house that Don and the kiddos made …

And Don’s garden is thriving in our above-average spring rainfall …
