I finished up my corn block from the Pat Sloan Farmers Market pattern. This is a freebie on her site. I have been a country girl my whole life until recently. I have always had a cornfield either in front of my home, behind my home or to the left or right of my home. I always complained about it as the corn would block any breeze headed into our non air conditioned homes. Making this block has really made me think about how I am going to not only miss the corn and soybeans but the sitting on the front porch and enjoying the views for miles around. Listening to the corn rustle in the evening breezes. Seeing Bullvye suddenly pop out of the rows of corn; after having been on some mission to chase something down. We now have new sights and sounds around us. The sound of car doors early in the morning as people head off to work. Dogs barking and kids talking loudly as they head off to the school bus stop. I am sure we will adjust and before long the sound of corn rustling in the breeze will be nothing but a distant memory.

I am really enjoying all of the fruits and vegies for this quilt. Thanks.
You are sure making it difficult for the rest of us to come up with just the right fabric. The corn is awesome. At the rate you are going, you will be finished with this long before camp. I'm still on the jars.
Geez, another block done! And I've only thought about starting! I love the corn!
I like the corn and the peaches both. :)
