Yep I’m lousy at taking pictures too. This block is for Ibex. With her permission I added a quote for each of the four presidents I chose:
JFK if not us who? If not now, when!
Teddy Roosevelt: keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground.
Bill Clinton: we all do better when we work together. Our differences do matter, but our common humanity matters more.
ike: Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed.

WOWZA!!! This is beautiful and mindful of the positive sides of their leadership! Thank you! I wonder if they truly felt that way or if they had good script writers....

Wow, everyone's blocks are amazing! I think this is the best start to a boom EVER! I love what everyone is doing with the President's fabric.
I've been crazy busy with the last week of school and getting ready for my trip. I'm just going to have to be the late blooming zinnia in the group!
Speaking of my trip... craziness. The boat we chartered in the keys was damaged and is not available, there are no other boats. The boat broker scrambled and found us a boat in the Virgin Islands! So, instead of Florida we head to St. Thomas on Sunday. Thank goodness the airlines do not have change fees.

No sewing for me yesterday. Wednesday evening is our family zoom time.
And I'm starting to get our RV ready for our trip to the Redwoods in 3 weeks. Yippy! When we came home spring of 2020 during lockdown we just unloaded the rig. Usually when we come back from a trip we write notes of things we would want on the next trip, take pictures of where we had things stowed, etc... We did none of that. My husband has been digging around looking where he usually keeps things but he can't find anything. Guess we were a bit stressed out!!
I have one of the presidents blocks almost cut out. I'm hoping to work on that this evening!

Wow wow wow what fantastic blocks everyone is making. I am in awe.
Kristie love your block for Sewbiz and how your fabric choices accent the basket of cherries
Julia so sorry to hear do is not doing well, hope this is a short term problem
Sewbiz your president’s block is outstanding
H4b the block you made for Biblistone is the same layout I have cut out, will see if I can come up with something different with my pieces. All your starts are just plain beautiful. Sad to hear about your mother will be praying for her.
Beautiful here In Minneapolis, yesterday it was in the 89’s and humid a cool front came through last night and we have the house all opened up. Making another trip to the donation store then to nursery for a hanging plant for the lake, then back to emptying sewing room.
Hope everyone has a good day
