HST Four Patch
8 inch finished
Black multicolor scraps and solid scraps
I now have a complete 63 block set.
Dark (or light or both) neutrals is the October Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) color of the month.
A few days ago I had 50 blocks and now I have met my goal. I think I will set them aside for now and maybe assemble later in the month or put in my SAR (Some Assembly Required) bin.
And sew on...

Gosh it sure seems to have been a busy week. On September 30 I had to take hubby an hour away to appts. in IA City at the Univ. of IA hospital and clinics. He had an appt. with another doctor in IA City on October 5. I hate that I drive an hour, have an appt. that lasts 15 minutes and then turn around and drive one hour back home. Then I've been having PT on Tuesdays and Thursdays. And I have gone into town several times for prescriptions and for groceries. One of John's prescriptions is Ciprofloxacin, an antibiotic for his bone infection. He was on tablets at a cost of $25. When Infectious Disease renewed the prescription after we visited them on the 30th they prescribed oral suspension Cipro. When I went to pick it up I had to refuse it. The oral suspension version was over $400 !!!!!!! So I had to get that straightened out so he could continue with the tablets.
Well, in between all that I did do a little sewing a few mornings and a lot of gardening in the afternoons. The weather had been BEAUTIFUL!
I received a couple of different bulb orders yesterday; I ordered them all with sales or coupons in July.
These are the ones I am planting in my Perky Goth/Moonlight Garden (aka Kayla memorial garden). I am planting mostly black, white and pink flowers in the garden.
This is the area I planted today with bulbs. I just mixed a lot of bulbs together and threw them out and planted where they landed. Most of the green ground cover in that area is wild violets.
I planted:
3 Camassia Leichtlinii Pink Stars
5 Allium Nigrum Silver Spring
10 Daffodil Pink Charm
10 Tulip Danique
5 Allium Starlight
10 Daffodil Blushing Belle
25 Narcissus White Petticoats
There's a climbing rose on that trellis to the left of the bench. Near there I planted two Fritillaria Persica (Persian Lily).
I still have more bulbs to plant in other areas in my Kayla Memorial garden. But that was enough for today. I am very thankful I was able to get out and do that much.
And sow on...

Happy Triangles and Happy gardening for the soul.
Bulbs are not always the easiest to plant but in the spring/summer it's worth all the effort. Isn't it wild the differences in medication costs?!?!??!!
I am so sorry you have that horrendous drive- both ways. That is a heckuva lot of bulbs to plant- no wonders you need PT. You encourage me. Lost my best quilting friend last week to bladder cancer, trying to keep working.
Love those bright and cheerful triangles! A close friend moved to Marion IA about 10 years ago to be closer to the U of IA doctors her husband had been seeing for his rare type of cancer. He is still doing really well, and thanks to those doctors has far exceeded his diagnosis. Those drug prices are crazy aren't they?
Your HST blocks with the brights and black are going to make a beautiful quilt, Cathy! Your days sound very full with driving to appointments and going to PT. Wishing you as much sewing and gardening time as you can fit in!
I'm always amazed at how much you get done, especially with all the appointments and driving. Reading your posts inspires me to work on my own garden, which can really use some work! Have a good week.
