Mission Completion
We, on Stauffer Avenue, can say that we have had mission completion on all levels.
I have two pieces of fabric equal to one another in the studio. As I have measured and cut, the thoughts were always niggling in the back of my brain. My initial thought was to do the pieces back to back into a lap robe size. I now have them both measuring 54″ x 48. Both panels, each telling a patriotic story totally clash in the color-ways. One panel is the Mount Rushmore with the eagle flying over the American flag in the red, white and blue theme. The other is of raising the American flag over Iwo Jima in very dark brown, black and orange hues. My quilting eyes cannot condone making them into one finished product. When the lights went out in the studio at one this afternoon, I had both of them on the church tables. Time to think on it and perhaps even sleep on it.
Dennis completed his task on the first floor of our home. We will be having a tuna oven dish with cranberries and bread and butter pickles. Oh yes, bread and butter on the side. The other day, Dennis was going to pick up a loaf of bread. There had been street repairs, so he stopped at Casey’s. The brand of bread that they sold was Hostess. Hmm. The taste of that bread took me back to when Lena made bread dough for buns. It had a “sweet bread” flavor. Not a bad thing at all. He couldn’t remember what the loaf had cost. I know in our grocery store, our usual bread, Country Hearth is $3.99 a loaf. It bares checking out.
Yes, we have had mission completion.
With that I will take my leave. ♥
