Bikes and blocks

It felt like Sunday today, but my calendar assured me it was really just Saturday. I think it must be because the MN Vikings game was on TV this afternoon and football should be Sunday afternoons.  I did a little sewing on my RSC18 blocks for August. These blocks are a 1930s era block pattern called State of Georgia, which I really like.  This month’s color was orange and I discovered that I don’t have much orange except for Halloween prints. So 2 of the blocks have the same fabrics in them but reversed locations. 

We had company too - daughter #1 and her friend came to Mitchell early this morning to ride their bicycles in the Tour de Corn. They chose to ride the 62 mile route.  It was a tough ride I guess due to the heat and a stiff breeze.  It’s a great hobby that they enjoy, even though their husbands don’t join in.  These ladies did the 5 day Tour de Nebraska early in the summer, and have done various other rides around the region too.  And yes - they usually dress to match each other when they do these rides.  Today they even matched their bikes.

  1. Nice blocks.

    Kudos to your daughter and her friend for being so dedicated to cycling. I gave my bike to my nephew's wife. It had gathered enough dust in my garage.
