Cannot believe it is August except for the horrid heat that hits you when you open the door. They say the heat is hotter with humidity behind it, and whoever "they" are, are correct. It is hot. Dogs got a bath yesterday and so did I. I was soaking wet by the time I finished 184 lbs of dirty dog flesh. But they are clean and soft. Although Chloe the Smelly Basset did go and rub in something while I was washing Dutch.
My Design Wall is interesting. It stayed like it appeared last week until yesterday when I began working n the Get-The-Crap-Out-Of-My-House Challenge with V and Co. I actually cleared out a 2 foot by 2 foot section in front of my Design Wall and was able to get to it and rearrange some blocks. I admit I copied. But I really liked the Kitchen Sink idea. So I put them all together and dug up a couple of pieces I had done over the last few years when I had leftovers and didn't know what to do with them. Instead of cutting them up like I had first thought to do, I left them whole. Whereupon I will sew the other blocks to them and make them more whole. I still have the Oriental blocks separate.
Then I saw what 9patchnurse did with her time on Sunday. And once again I was filled with intense desire to copy. You might as well put me in jail now for total and outright plagiarism. (Had to look up that spelling, I guess I have never written it before.) (And that would be a good thing.)
Speaking of that, did you read in the latest issue of Quilting Newsletter the article on Copyright? I daresay there is not an original thought in the quilting world anymore. If you even think up a quilt on your own you will surely copy one somewhere and they will come and get you. I thought the only way to really be free to make a quilt was to think on your own, but maybe even that is dangerous. I am sure I have seen just about everything somewhere before.
I don't know, maybe I will go hide under a

OH MY GOSH! I AM NUMBER ONE! (tears of joy as I walk down the aisle with roses in my arms and a HUGE crown of rhinestones on my head. And I am trying not to trip on my evening gown as I take the runway one last time!!) Thank you, thank you, thank you!
