Day 209 - Summer storms

I am writing my blog this morning as last night we had a major thunder/lightening/rain storm that made the computer impossible to access.  At one time all of the power went out in the house but came back on a couple of seconds later.  Our rain amounted to     in our rain gauge!  I was able to mow the back yard in the morning before we got our first round of 1/2 inch.  This little guy was on our front railing this morning.

Sewed 2 strips more of the strip blocks together and now have to take the paper back off.  Ironed the strips that I found in the bottom of the church box.

Sewed up the rest of the precut blocks from the church box. 

This is going to be a "fringed" quilt.  Here is a block sewn- see the 3 layers?

Worked some more on the 3rd birdhouse (this one is a challenge!).

The little chimney and the little awning over the window,

the window itself- challenging to paper over/around.

Not done with the front yet but part way there!
