Stimpson Family Nature Reserve hike

We (my husband and I) set off to hike in an "often" hiked, walked and run "by us" locale today: Stimpson Family Nature Reserve. I've blogged about this area many times. Today in addition to the regular loops we did add a little exploration down a side spur trail off the Geneva pond trail. I took a lot of photos of trail side observances today and put the collection in a movie format. I hope you enjoy your armchair view of the trail as we saw it on our hike today.

Mon Oeuvre ~ Good Fortune Mystery Quilt progress 3

After cutting and sewing a "frillion" (code word for many, many, as amounts aren't to be posted) half square triangles, it was time for pressing to the dark (fabric) side 😉 (quilting/star wars reference humor) & cutting off the dog ears & trimming to size.

My clue #2 "frillion" done!

*I'm calling anything over 100 a frillion.

Clue one and clue two.

Th clues for 1 - 5 have all been released, wondering if I'll catch up by the time the quilt is revealed in February.

This week’s colors were chosen from  the ceiling beams from the courtyard at the Temple of Heaven in China.
