J4 - Adelaine's Apron Strings

That sounds like apple crumble. Sveltering heat here in Pretoria and icy winter in the Northeren Hemisphere.  I have a little snowflake in the fabric.

C3 - Rayelle's Fence

Rayelle has a lattice fence. What a nice contrast between red and light.  Straight patches.  A good change after C2.

C2 - Streak of lightning

This block took a couple of hours to draft on EQ7.  Still not right IMHO. First try.  Let's see when i make the next version.  We had a wicked thunderstorm while I was making it.  I love the energy of a Highveld thunderstorm.

F8 - Church window

Scorching Sunday - out almost all day because it is Fairy Lemondrop's birthday. I can't believe Peyton is 3 already. A blessing that she is even alive and what a blessing she is in our lives. I finished the church window block to remind us all how precious you are.

B-13 Four corner press

Watching cricket with the hubby.  Chris Gayle is hitting fours all over the place in the 1 day international between the West Indies and SA. Cricket pitch green. A quick one on a Friday night.

So far so good.

After making 2 blocks in the wrong colours, this grid I can access from my phone that is always with me...
Do you also, sometimes, make stupid mistakes?

Ai!

G7 Indianapolis

I'm not so sure where exactly this is. I'll have to go and Google it. For me, this block looks like a shield and weapons.  I'm ready for the new year with my weapons. Patience, love, empathy and a good sence of humor.

B12 - Starflower

Today, while we were travelling through the scorcing Namaqualand (semi desert) it was fitting to finish rhis little yellow flower. People come from all over the world to see the miracle of springtime when this part of the world explodes in a carpet od flowers. Simple in construction, like the Starflower, each little flower, for only a couple of days, bursts out in a colourful song.

B11 - Melissa's Cross

I dont know Malissa, but wonder about her cross. Was it a difficult cross to carry?  At the end, we prefer to carry our own cross. This is my cross. The holiday in Cape Town is drawing to a close.  I'm going to miss dearest little Cylus when we're gone. 

I cant wait to get home to press and square these off.
