March 7 Rednesday

I am sharing a recent quilt block with you today.  It's quite red and you could call it a Cherry Basket.

It looks like orange but the color here is actually a tomato red.  The background is unbleached muslin - not as dingy as photographed!  This is one of the Just Takes Two quilt blocks,  from the Just Takes Two project.
I am joining with Sue at It's a Very Cherry World for Rednesday!  Have a great week.

Tuesday Quilt block

Time to have fun with Jane Stickle blocks again!  This one is Wild Goose Chase.

These blocks finish up to 4.5 inches square.  I've done so many of these that even a 6 inch block looks giganitic now!

I'm linking up with Connie at Quilting by the River.

And I'm linking up to a new (to me) interesting linky party: Quilt Story.

Vintage Thingy Thursday March 1

I'm joining up with Colorado Lady for Vintage Thingie Thursday!

I haven't participated in Vintage Thingie Thursday in a while because I ran out out of vintage 'things' and I've got a personal pledge to stay away from ebay.  But I dug deep and I found a thin book called Flood Views: Franklin County and Vicinity.  This is in Massachusetts.  There is no publication data.

Some photographs from inside:

Areas upstream from this area were devastated by floods after Hurricane Irene, which made me think of this booklet.  It must have been exciting and scary to see the water everywhere, in normally dry areas.  But it must have cost some serious money in those Depression Days to fix everything.
