These blocks are the next Drunkard's Path variation quilt. I think these little birds are as cute as the turtles. It will be a while before I actually work on them, I just did these to try out the block; I still have a lot of turtles to finish, then put the tops together. I will start pinning, though, it takes a lot of pinning for a quilt.

Then I was cleaning out the cubbyholes upstairs in my sewing corner and I ran across the blocks for this quilt.

It's a little hard to see, and they are old, I've had them longer than I can remember, but I decided that I would get them made. They are soiled and I am sure the age stains won't come all the way. I am sure they are a vintage kit, I have no idea who, where, or when. Fun though.

I didn't get a lot of sewing done today, we had pears that needed canned. It's been so long since I did any, I haven't forgotten how to peel pears though. Ambrosina did most of the work and made spiced pear jam, I can't wait to try it. Peeling the pears was enough of a contribution for her, she enjoys the process, well, I always did too. She doesn't have to do anywhere near the amount of it that I did. She doesn't have to do so much of it that it exhausts her the way it used to me. There was just enough of it today to make a change.

Tomorrow they start drilling holes in the dining room and I lose my sewing corner for a while. I will be glad when they are done with it. It's going to be a busy weekend.
