Of the Wall Friday

I really like Off  the Wall Fridays!  Today she talked about taking a Skip Day with her daughter when she was in high school.  And Nina Marie took at Skip Day today!  And she posted the blogpost late today because of that!  LOL

So I am linking up to her Off the Wall post.  Go check out what the others are doing.....


 So I haven't worked on anything in the last two days because I have had Sawyer.  I pulled him in the wagon twice today and once yesterday.

I am so glad we kept that wagon here so we could roll him to all the important places a baby needs to be seen. Even if he is still in his pajama at 11 AM.





I can show you the progress I made on the Red Riding Hood and the Wolf quilt.   I got one more forest block made on Wednesday. 









It was the one in the middle top row.  The next one I need is the light polka dot background and the dark forest block in that bottom right corner.  



 I had to share this sent by my cousin today.  Her son is in his first year at the Naval Academy and he was at the Army-Navy game.  It makes you think.  These are the men who will be protecting our freedoms with their lives.  

 This past season I saw an amazing football game:

1. The player's hair fit under their helmets.

2.  No tattoos could be seen.

3.  There were no outlandish end zone celebrations.

4.  There was no taunting.

5.  Opposition players helped each other up after a play

6.  Footballs were not spiked or left for the referee to retrieve; they were handed to the referee.

7.  No one took a knee on the sideline.

8.   Players stood at attention during the playing of the national anthem.

9. It's great to watch an Army-Navy game.

Top Secret Doings

Yesterday I had Sawyer at the house.  I had a clear day and picked him up from school.  He is cutting some teeth and was having a hard time, so I got him one of those freezer teething rings.  He was funny, with his pink teether hanging out of this mouth as he scooted around my living room. 

With no rug in there, I can move the chairs back and create a huge area for him to crawl or use his walker.  Man, he is fast fast fast in that walker now!  I guess it is a really a RUNNER.

I pulled him in his wagon down to the end of the block and back.  Having the wagon is a special thing for us.  We took Carrie everywhere in her wagon and now we have her son to take places.   

Sometimes, only a grandma can make you feel better!

Today I made my block for the Cotton Robin and the Modern Robin.  I made similar blocks because i love seeing how different people interpret them.  If you want to get into the Cotton Robin, you can probably still talk to Julie.  When she gets all the blocks together, she will post them on the blog site at: 

The Cotton Robin

I can't show them to you.......they  are top secret!

Here is one I finished  up last year.

This was mine from last year.

When Julie was collecting the blocks last January, I told her I didn't have a quilt room any more.  She said, not a problem - got it covered.

She made the center block, with the house high on a ridge so the flood waters can't get to it!
