This link provides instructions for making Prairie Points.
Handy little things as you can put them around the edge of a piece  to give an interesting finish.
I have seen them used in many forms on a quilt to emphasize a certain focal point and even on a tote bag just below the top border of the bag. Try them , collect them , use them, they can be fun.
It was a nice day today but the clouds are coming in and the Fireworks Celebration starts this evening. It is a week of exciting fireworks displays put on by several countries. Canada being one, naturally, China another and Spain the third. It is a very exciting event and all the beaches are full of people . Off English Bay  many sailboats are taking advantage of their perfect location.  There will be a few tipples there tonight but the police presence will be heavy to avoid another debacle like the one after the hockey game. Lots of families will be in attendance so that may make a difference. Each country puts on an amazing display of fireworks in a wondrous competition.
We'll see at the end of the week who is the big winner.
We went grocery shopping this morning, I got half way round the store and my legs gave out so I had to get Ray to help me to TImmy's to sit down. When I got home it was back to bed again. Then Marg called and came over with another book, a library book this time, so it has to be back by next Saturday. The author is Karen Rose, the title You Belong To Me. That will keep me busy this week. It was a nice visit once again.
I did not take any photos today, didn't feel like it. Times are tough LOL. So no pictures today.
Enjoy your evening folks.
Bon Soir.
