And then there were 20!

I know I should be saying welcome back to my own self. We have started preschool for my oldest, which involves me driving an extra hour each day. The wonderful fall colds have already hit all of my family, and time has been flying by way to fast.

I have done a little bit of sewing. I made my cousin a nursing cover, the neighbor a couple of pillow cases, and blocks for my Michael Miller Clubhouse quilt.  (Sorry I do not have any pictures.) 

Tonight, I got to work on my farmer's wife blocks! :-) I know I am way behind, but I hope to catch up maybe in the next couple of weeks. I really enjoy making these blocks. I am starting to think about sashing colors, I was thinking about Kona ashe, but I am second guessing that now. Any ideas? I know I will be adding more blocks with black and white prints too.
#86 Squash Blossom
This block reminds me of summers I spent working in my grandparents garden. I truly enjoyed these summers and loved the fresh squash!
Snowball
What is a snowball without a little winter blue? I like how this block turned out.
