Sulphur Springs

I've been helping family this past month which entails traveling around the state and across the country. One of my favorite sights in Texas is the beautiful county courthouses. Hopkins County boasts one of the loveliest examples. It's built on the northeast corner of the square providing more room for a spacious park including a WWII memorial, board game tables and a small fountain.

But the most amusing sight was this restroom. Sulfur Springs built a clear glass unisex restroom on the courthouse square. At night, floodlights around the base keep the outside brighter than the interior so no one can see in. But you clearly see everything around when inside the room. A bit disconcerting. I used the facility. Would you?

Handwork is still iffy and most of my relatives don't have sewing machines. {They depend on me for all sewing.} However, She-Who-Wore-White has a featherweight. At first I thought that wouldn't work for quilting then remembered my first quilt was done on a featherweight. As it happens, I want to make a baby quilt for a friend living in the same town. Here are two possible layouts.

You might recall these blocks. I sewed them around New Year to clear out my scrap bag. They both include the same whites. Do they look better with black or yellow?

Enjoy the day, Ann
