Nine Patch Ohio Star.     I like the colours on this one, not too often that happens with these Quilt Pro blocks. Interesting use of the nine patches as corner blocks. The centre of this block is different too. All in all it is a very nice block in my opinion.

There are pages of quilt patterns on this site so happy hunting.

<<http://www.jeanneraecrafts.com/lattice/lattice.html>> Pretty flowers on Jean Rae's Lattice quilt. I think she is at the end of the designs so if you want them it's time to download. But, there is always a but isn't there? Check the earlier blocks to see if they are still available is you haven't done any of them before. Free may become $$$$ in future.

That's it the end of the freebies for tonight.

We had a good day. Ray had to go to the eye doctor and I had to go to the foot doctor. So he took me to my doctor and he went on to his doctor. They were just a small distance apart. That done, we went back home to be there for the cleaning lady. I noticed that there were two calls on the phone from her and deduced that she was not coming today. Then she called and confirmed my deductions. LOL. She wanted to come tomorrow but I said not happening so I would see her next week.
So we went out for abit to buy bread . Two people have asked me why we buy so much bread, you can't possible eat all that bread. No we just throw it out. Ray has to have his bread fresh so it doesn't last more than 2 days in our house and then it gets tossed. Rather wasteful isn't it.

We ran into Margaret while up at our little mall where we bought the bread, so we gave her a ride home.
I was tired when we got home and had a nap. Ray cleaned the house , vacuuming, dusting etc. So we didn't need the cleaning lady this week . but he was very sore and tired afterward. I thought I was in bed for the night I was so tired. But Ray woke me up and I recovered LOL.
We are watching The Big Bang Theory , they are all picking on Sheldon. Ray has just discovered this show I watched it all 2011 when I was in the hospital but when I suggested it earlier he did not want to watch it. Now he does. It can be very funny sometimes. So can Ray LOL.

I'm waiting for you to come home , so please hurry it up.

Isn't this great , you can train a dog to do anything even lead a horse to water but as they say you can't make him drink. Haha.

Fox kits guarding the road. Haha they are cute. One time when Jim and I were driving across Canada we saw a silver fox run across the road. We were on our way to The Pas the town where I was born and had never gone back to . It was interesting to go back and see things I actually remembered . I left there when I was six , I remembered exactly how to get to the place where I lived. It was a small town but that amazed even me. LOL

Hmm if only my memory was as good as it was then. Haha.
