It's been a wet and stormy couple of days here. Lovely weather for time at the sewing machine!
First off, I completed a UFO row from a row-by-row that I started a couple of years ago. Each month has a row. Whoo Hoo! August is finished! (I have now also discovered that long skinny rows are super hard to photograph. But here it is lined up on the patio steps.)
And, I've been keeping up with Circa 2016 blocks. The little Shoo-Fly blocks from last week are adorable! I had such fun making a whole bunch. Yes, I know I only need two.

This weeks' blocks were Friendship Star. The little gray and red one that didn't want to lie flat for photos is so sweet, but it won't make it into Circa 2016. My background fabric is also gray, so it won't show up well. Not to worry, I'll find another use for that little cutie.

As for the rain... There was a thunderstorm late Saturday night that gave us 3.1 inches in the rain gauge. Then another storm swept through Sunday night, and Monday it continued to rain. We dumped another 3 inches out of the rain gauge after lunch. By dinner time an additional 3.5 inches had fallen. My sister stayed up for the week, and we'll get a final total tomorrow, but that's already 9.6 inches of rain in less than 32 hours!
And at home a mere 2 hours drive south... not a drop. The storms are tracking north. But, the evening meeting I came home for was cancelled. Yippee! Time to do a little more piecing. Log cabins are on the agenda.
Your row of boats is so cute! That rain was crazy--we never emptied our 6" rain gauge so it overflowed. I don't think we've every had that much rain in one day since we moved here!
