I first sewed this block up to see if it would work —
It did, so I made three more —
If you look closely at the thimble block, you'll see that the bottom strip is pieced - I needed one more 1¼ x 8½ inch strip and didn't have enough for that cut. I had just enough left over to join some pieces and make do! It's not the best matching but it will pass.
We got off fairly lightly with the rain this week. Faired a lot better than other parts of the country.
This mob of cows made a little mud, but it's not too bad —
The river rose, we had a small flood, and not nearly as big as we were expecting (you can see the debris on the fence, so it had come up further overnight and was on its way down) —
We had four new calvers so our numbers are starting to ramp up a little. I'm walking these two back to the shed —
'til next time,
Glad you didn't get quiet as much rain......
ReplyDeleteyou sure have been getting a lot of rain this past month!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have it all under control. The rain isn't as bad here as was predicted, it seems that Christchurch is taking the worst of it.
ReplyDeleteRain, rain, go away! It hasn't been too bad here in Levin, but its heartbreaking seeing the floods in other areas on TV news.
ReplyDeletethe blocks look great like that.... glad not too much rain....
