Years ago before I quilted, I learned to make a yoyo for some reason and when my mother and father came down for the winter in their Airstream I taught her. She probably made hundreds of them, but neither of us knew what to do with them. I don't know what happened to them, but she loved making them. She has since passed away and reading your blog brought back good memories. Your blocks look great, too bad we didn't think of that.

Have fun!! (I get my Simple books from Connecting Threads: they are always cheaper than regular retail.)

I knew the drought had hurt things, but that's really bad. I know how big an acre is, from having lived on one several times, and to think of only pulling 5 bushels of corn from that much land is astounding! Hopefully, more rain next year.
