What's Going On

 Derby [R] & Julep [L] sunning in a favorite spot on the deck.  

 Our highest tide yesterday.  A few more inches and the water 

would have topped the dock.  

 You know it's fall when the Beauty Berry bush turns bright purple.

 The final row of 2-1/2" squares were added and this is

officially done.  I still have a box full of this size square

so you will probably see other quilts done in a similar style.

 The line-up for the 'Return to Sender' quilt pattern.

 I purchased a 'Jelly Roll' made by Moda from the Old Country Store 

in Lancaster specifically to make this quilt.  For those that don't know ...

Jelly Rolls are fabric cut into 2-1/2" strips [by 44"] and then rolled up in a 

jelly roll fashion.  Moda is one of the leading manufactures of

fabric today.  The cool thing about using a Jelly Roll is that all the

fabric colors and patterns blend nicely together which eliminates

{for me} a lot of time trying to figure out what goes with what.

 I had to make a few blocks for my 'Return to Sender' quilt.

In case you haven't figured it out the blocks look like mail

slots.  This pattern is easy & I can't wait to make more.

 Several months ago a new restaurant opened on the

main street in St. Michaels called "Mike & Eric's Front

Street Restaurant".  For some reason {mainly because

this restaurant isn't on the water and in summer we just

like to eat along the waters edge} ... we finally gave 

Front Street a try.  I have to say it was pretty darn 

good ... what I had for lunch as well as what I had

for dinner ... all in the same day.

 Wilson said these are the best fried green tomato's he's

had and when Wilson gives a compliment like this

well ... you know it's good!

I was still semi-full from the burger I had at lunch

so I ordered just the tomato bisque and it was to die for!
From what I understand the chief is a whiz at making soups.
We will go back to Front Street for sure.
