A quick note before we get started. My friend Inez is coming on Wednesday from
Florida and staying for a week…YAY!!!
The plan as of now is to bake something every day….if you are within
driving distance of my house, and want to try any of our goodies (providing
there are leftovers), please leave me a comment. I’ll add you to an email list, and then send
out something as the goodies are completed.
First come, first serve!

Sunday (9/16) was another gloomy and rainy day. The perfect day to stay home and craft :~).
In order to keep moving ahead with my own quilts, I first had to load up
Sandy D’s second quilt:
Anne came for a
visit as her phone, internet and TV were all down and she was fascinated while watching
me load Miss Scarlett :~). After that was done I dropped back to working
on Rainbow Blockhead, and by dinnertime it was totally finished:
I LOVE this quilt….I love the quilting on it
and also love the tiny black binding….I feel it really finishes the quilt.
Michael and I had already decided weeks ago
to have champagne and puffy things after each Sunday matinee performance, so
even though performances were cancelled for Saturday and Sunday….that was still
our supper:

We settled in to watch TV
(we’re currently back to watching THE CLOSER as they suddenly put a bunch of
re-runs on the LIFETIME stations…we really miss that show), and my necklace is
now totally loaded for beads. I’ll have
to contact one of my ‘teachers’ to see if we can get together so that she can
guide me to braiding it correctly.
Operation:Finale, starring Ben Kingsley as
Adolph Eichmann. Set up like the movie “ARGO”
from a few years back, this true story of the hunting down and eventual capture
of “the architect of the final solution” follows a group of Mossad agents as
they plan this “operation finale”.
Eichmann was the last major German officer left free after WWII. In 1960, he was in Argentina, living with his
wife and 2 sons under a Spanish name. He
was being protected by a large group of Nazi sympathizers. Much of the movie shows Eichmann and his
captors battling for mental superiority.
The final takedown and ending credits are well worth the wait! I give it 3-1/2 fat quarters out of 5.
BlacKKKlansman: directed by Spike Lee, based on a true
story. Set in the 70’s, a black
undercover cop puts on a “white voice” and contacts the local KKK and becomes a
member. He sends his white cop friend to
go to meetings to infiltrate the group.
The KKK is planning some “terrorist” type activities and the movie shows
what happens behind those white robes – it’s not pleasant to see. More frightening is that the credo of the KKK
sounds very much like the rhetoric spewing from our “White” house today. I give it 4 fat quarters out of 5.
Great movie reviews -- keep 'em coming!
