Triangles, Thimbles, and a Car Incident




These 16-patch blocks joined those I have already completed from the half-square triangles a friend gifted to me.  I’m getting close to the bottom of the stack and will have to make a decision as to what to do with them.  I don’t have enough for a usable quilt top, but I do have more of the alternate block fabric.  I could made additional blocks from my own stash; or set them on point; or most probably set them aside for a while.  I have some anti-ouch pouch kits to work on while I consider my options.

 


The third border on my thimble quilt is almost completely added by applique.

 

In other news…

I recently had a minor incident in my car when I was forced off the road.  I would have been fine if I had not hit a metal pole someone had set up on the shoulder.  The other driver did not stop.  Thank goodness for insurance.  



The recording of a voicemail left by my insurance adjuster was pleasant and professional.  The above excerpt from that same message was automatically transcribed by the computer.  I think their transcription programming needs improvement.

Oh my goodness, that doesn't sound minor - it shakes you up, doesn't it! Glad you were OK. Yes we have many laughs looking at the transcription of voice mails - lol!
Did you have storms last night? I forgot which part of Hill Country you live in, but I noticed storms marching around down in that area.

sorry about the car - some people really need to learn to drive better!

Some people just aren't watching the road, and not stopping suggests they don't think it is their problem. I'm happy just staying home most of the time.
