Wonky Churn Dash Block {Tutorial

http://starwoodquilter.blogspot.com/2011/11/cats-and-mice-quilt-block.html

Another block from starwoodquilter and a new issue of her grandmothers diary. This is most a  interesting look at life in the 1920s. If you love history a look here might stir your interest.
Re  the wonky churn dash.  I messed up my spacing....
If you like asymmetry this is the one for you. Personally I prefer symmetry. boring as it may be LOL. So there I prefer symmetry , linear thinking and logical thinking.
We met Sam for lunch, it was most interesting. He is going to Israel next wee. He will be gone for a week. Then we talked about the new motorcycle helmet law. The government has brought in a law that says riders need to wear the full helmet instead of the  half helmet that lots of riders wear. The full helmet gives the rider a lot more protection to the head. Good thinking.

After we left Sam we thought to go to Bosa and buy some real Italian food. We got into the line up and it went no where, cars were just sitting there. We are not patient enough to sit in that line which strestched a long way so we turned left and decided to go down to the Fraser River where they are building a huge new development. There was a handicapped parking spot so we hit the jackpot.
We walked out to the end of the pier so we could stand and watch the river go by. There was no traffic on the river but the amosphere was lovely. I love the wind in my face.

There were two young workers having their lunch. The cord of my camera case was stuck in the wheel. One of the young men came over to help the old lady and took off the brake , that released the cord LOL. It was a good moment. There were a pair of lovers standing on the top of the deck. So life is romantic and funny too.

When we left there we took the back road that we had never taken before and we have lived here since 1987. You could say we are not very aware or adventuresome. Not that it is a huge adventure to travel the road untaken. It was a boring route but we ended up on
Byrne road . On the way home we stopped at  Hop On's for some veggies and fruit. They have gorgeous plants too but we don't plant any more.  Still it is great to see them. Flowers make me happy.
Orange, a new colour for a calla lily, beautiful!!
A bevy of lillies ,yellow if you didn't know LOL.

Then we came home, I was tired out and had my nap.
We had corn on the cob for dinner , it was delicious.

Margaret, this is what little Adam has . It may not mean anything but Michael could get it on the internet for you. Osteochondritis dessicans, a portion of the bone dies and the cartilage separates from it, but because the bone is still growing they expect it to grow beyond this part of the bone. The prognosis for  a young boy is good.
Smile boy!!

I love this one, a mom who has a lot of babies has my attention LOL.
Okay that's it for tonight.
Have a great evening.
