On Thursday, I worked on a PowerPoint for a guild lecture I’m giving later this month, updating it with newer quilts. I have just a few photos to take and it should be done!

Midweek: beautiful days, an unplanned project, and reading from With Strings Attached

Lots of sunshine, mid-70's, no humidity = ideal for walking! 2.7 miles at Sun Lake on Monday afternoon. It counts as two trails (because of the distance) for Hike Lake County.

Lower right is white snakeroot, a poisonous plant. When cows grazed on it they absorbed the poison When people drank their milk they contracted milk fever. Here's the story of Anna Pierce, the white woman who learned about the relationship between the plant and the sickness from Native Americans.

I had a woman's club board meeting Tuesday afternoon, so no walk.

Midweek: cranes, estate sale again!, and a sneak peek from With Strings Attached

Mr. and Mrs. Crane ambled through a back yard a couple of blocks away. I saw them because someone else was taking a photo.

I was en route to month #11 of Barb M's estate sale. Paula and her friends took July off. Months 1-10 have raised $20,000 for local charities. Proceeds this month go to Bricks of Hope which provides Lego sets to seriously ill kids. (Read the founder's story about how having Legos to play with when he was treated for childhood leukemia.)

My purchases at home. $2.59 per yard this time.

Midweek: OMG success, under the needle, and flinging from With Strings Attached

Surely I am not the only person wondering where July has gone!

My OMG was to make the quilt for the AAUW holiday raffle. I finished it mid-month. ("Don't 'peak' until Christmas"?)

Here is the July OMG link up.

SIS-boom-dot is under the needle, though here it's shown rolled up for the last rows. (SIS=square-in-square / boom = the brights / dot = the black pin dot.)

These boxes are empty! They held various household items left over from my last garage sale (2019 according to the newspapers wrapped around glassware), a miscellany of tins, and more. The contents are in ...

Midweek: an unexpected project + reading from With Strings Attached

Monday afternoon: a red admiral stopped long enough for a photo; a reddish mushroom 'protected' by poison ivy; plantings on the restored beach.

The map: red arrow "you are here" and my finger shows where I walked on Sunday. That gives you an idea of the stretch of our lakefront.

Midweek: all set! from With Strings Attached

My car registration is due in July and this is the year for its emissions test, so we went to the Waukegan testing station Monday. The car passed the test but the computer system to renew registrations was down. Rather than hang around we headed south to Greenbelt.

There are trails on both sides of Green Bay Road. This time we went to the west.

From upper right rattlesnake master, which has such other-worldly flowers! St. John's wort, eastern bottle brush grass. early goldenrod ("early" is part of the name, and it is!), a buried wheel rim likely from ...

Midweek: quilt history, estate sale, and OMG summary from With Strings Attached

Monday afternoon I presented "Every Quilt Tells a Story" to a women's group at my hometown church in Northbrook. Though I haven't belonged to that church in 50 years it was nice to see several women in the audience who knew my family and remembered my parents. When the chair introduced me she asked, "Who's known Nann the longest?" That was Judy, who moved to the house at the end of our block in 1963. (Judy remembers that my mother was the first neighbor to welcome them.) My program includes a concise history of quiltmaking (that's ...
