STAR BOM BLOCK 2

I finished block 2!! I was so excited for the 15th to get here. My husband went out of town for the weekend so I can do whatever I feel like doing for a change. No cooking, no distractions, just sewing on my quilts. It took me 2 tries because the first time the block measured 12" GRRRR... I was checking it out and it looked like my seams were to wide. I ripped it out and started over again and this time it came okay. Anyways it is a learning process. Well, here is my block I like it. Thanks Judy!

My husband's new toy

Today we went and picked up a new toy for my husband to play with! He has always wanted a BIG truck. It's has all the options he wanted and we got a really good deal on it. We have a travel trailer and need a big truck to pull it with. My husband is retired and we plan on traveling and seeing some of the country. I really love it too. For being so big it has a smooth ride and is really quite inside.
