Design Wall Monday and Weekly Goals

Another R/W/B album block--

There are stars and flags in there.  The red stars bled while I was pressing the fabric, but I rinsed it several times and it quit, probably just excess dye.  The handsome gentleman holding the block is Dave Becker--Operations Project Manager at Gavins Point Project.  Dave is one of the people who make volunteering fun.  

Volunteers are a valuable resource for many places.  I've been volunteering at Gavins Point for 10 years.  There is a national website volunteer.gov with opportunities all over the United States.  Many local opportunities exist, just ask.  

Weekly Goals--

Album Blocks

Monkey Wrench blocks

Missouri Star Disappearing Pinwheel blocks

Liz's Squared

The week looks pretty busy but I hope to squeeze in some sewing time.  Since I have limited room I stick mainly to piecing in the camper.  Although clutter doesn't bother me, I am OCD!  After making the album blocks I had to organize my box of 2.5" squares.  Yes, its the size of a large shoebox.  Enough squares to make at least 1-2 quilts.  Please see everyone's design wall posts at Patchwork Times.

Let me lose misplace something and I go crazy!  Yesterday I lost misplaced the scooter keys.  There is only ONE key for the ignition.  (I am having a hard time finding a key place that has that blank).  I searched for 2 hours.  My garbage went to the dumpster two days ago.  Yes, I went and dug it out of the dumpster and searched it.  Don't ask!  But no keys were in the trash.  I had given up the search and planned to spend $$$ getting a new ignition/key made.  As I wandered my campsite lamenting the loss of the keys I spied them on the picnic table under some flower pots.  YIPPEE!!  The Corps gives away keychains (floating ones for boaters) that I am putting the scooter keys on.  Hopefully they will be easier to keep track of.

Have a great week!!
