And there was light . . . .

I meant to do this post last weekend when I finally got power back . . 

But, when you haven't had power for five days, 

you don't think about blogging, you think about doing

everything else you couldn't do for five days!

Sewing, having a hot shower, cooking a nice meal,

watching a movie, listening to music.

I hate to admit how dependent I am on electricity!

This week I did do a lot of sewing on my whites and lights

challenge quilt.

My blocks are 12.5" square and I ended up making 30 of them.

The top is finished at 60" x 72."

I love they way this top turned out!

Thanks to Victoria for throwing down the challenge.

Now to layer it and start quilting!

And here's to all our veterans and active duty soldiers

defending our country.

My brother is in Afghanistan, and his wife, 

my SIL, a veteran herself,

is home taking care of two small children by herself.

These are two of the heroes in my life,

and I salute them!

Happy Veterans Day Doug and Jess!!
