Of course I had lovely moments with you. We need to return to get more of that salty caramel ice-cream.

It's clear that everyone is tired of Covid restrictions (one of the reasons that the numbers are rising again). At least this summer I was able to work outside in the garden. We've canceled our annual trip south for 2 months, so it's going to be a very long winter, indeed. The colleges here in NY, which started the fall semester within-person classes, are sending everyone home at Thanksgiving and not coming back to campus until at least Feb. All we can do at this point, is give it our best try and wait it out.<br />PatMissPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807348837446241284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331056529990165279.post-75916548167263468672020-11-12T09:43:17.032-05:002020-11-12T09:43:17.032-05:00I would guess with all of the teaching via compute...I would guess with all of the teaching via computer, you have little desire to be on one at the end of the day - so no need to worry about not blogging as much as usual. We all get it. 8 months? that is ridiculous, especially since the end isn't exactly in sight yet. Sigh.<br />But that fall tree in your neighborhood. Spectacular!! It is just amazing. <br />The Ohio Star project is really coming together nicely. I agree you need a pop of burgundy or deep purple with another large star - love the combo of sizes when you lay them all out on the design deck.

I think I would add more of the cooler colors, blue or green, for your final few blocks. The overall look right now is warmer, but maybe you're feeling the need for more warmth as winter sets in :)<br /><br />Like you, I've been a bit "Oh, well!" about blogging. The sewing is more important, I think!Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06306854459459257368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331056529990165279.post-18874569092625288482020-11-12T09:18:58.191-05:002020-11-12T09:18:58.191-05:00Those yellow blocks with the mum!!

These little moments have a big impact on staying sane this year. I think burgundy is a fine idea—that color doesn’t usually get much love in our RSC lives. Stay strong!

But burgundy sounds really good too. Our trees are finishing up now except for a few yellows. Really nice shot of your neighbors'. My hubby continues to teach in person as he runs an engineering lab.

Love that impromptu block layout, Mari! I couldn't decide what color is needed to "finish it off". How about cutting up a bit of your most favorite fabric and pop that in the quilt?
