Another 9/11 has come and gone

We never forget where we were when major events happen--some of them good, some we wish we could forget. We can choose to celebrate the ones that bring joy. I'll make it simple by just dealing with positives from the past week.  

My kitchen remodeling project that started a month ago was finished. We removed the shelf-like extension, wrought iron post, and drop-down shelf, replacing with a much wider counter.  Corbels were needed (I learned a new word!) to support the wider counter, and I wanted a wooden post under the hanging cabinet. I had to select these, order and stain them and get the installer back.

Another neat happening was The Great Wisconsin Quilt Show Virtual Experience 2020. What a treat to get to "attend" and enjoy a big quilt show without all the crowds and aching feet and knees! After the two quilts came back from this show I am hanging Interleave Symphony for a while. 

It is time to work on my section of the Italian hillside piece that three of us are making. I am doing the left third of this photo. Rita Warnock and Cathy Reininger are the other participants, and they have finished theirs.  Quoting Wikipedia: The Cinque Terre, five towns, is a string of five fishing villages perched high on the Italian Riviera in the region Liguria, which until recently were linked only by mule tracks and accessible only by rail or water.
