Now that I've started making nine patch blocks, I find I really like them. Now I'm considering a second quilt - made from my stash of echino prints...
Just an idea I had for a special forces patch. I was playing around with the default custom shapes. Please give credit if used, for non-commercial use only.

When I saw this section, I knew something was seriously amiss here. The brown-and-white diamond figure was askew, and it was surrounded by a row of very rough appliqué stitches. Sure enough, it was a patch atop damaged fabric.

Bombus affinis
Federally Listed as Endangered; State Listed in New Hampshire and Vermont
The rusty patched bumblebee is a bumblebee species living in North America. It is commonly found throughout the east and upper Midwest of the United States, north to Ontario, Canada, east to Quebec, south to Georgia and west to North and South Dakota. The bumblebee lives in colonies that consist of a single queen and female workers. In spring, the overwintering queen emerges and chooses a new nesting site. She will begin laying eggs, which will hatch and become her colony workers. The queen continues to lay eggs as the workers collect food, protect the colony, and help care for the young. In late summer, new queens and males hatch from the eggs and the males leave to mate with queens from other colonies. The males and original queens die and the new queens will hibernate until the following spring, before beginning the whole cycle again.
In the upper Midwest and Northeast, most prairies and grasslands have been altered to accommodate single-crop farms, or have been developed into roads or cities. Bumblebees need areas that offer nectar and pollen from flowers, underground deserted rodent hollows, and untouched soil or patches of grasses for queens to overwinter. Because the bees need these three varying types of habitats that are within a close to proximity to each other, the species is uniquely vulnerable to extinction. In addition, this bee population is threatened by include parasites, pathogens, and pesticides. One of the greatest threats to honeybees is industrial agriculture’s widespread use of pesticides. According to one study, nearly two-thirds of hives surveyed in Canada and the United States contain at least one synthetic pesticide. The most worrisome is a class of insecticide called neonicotinoids, which have been found to short-circuit bees’ memory and navigation.
In addition, the aptly named parasite Varroa destructor represents a second significant threat, especially for colonies that have already been compromised by pesticide exposure. The varroa mite sucks out bees’ “blood” while also transmitting a virus that deforms the insects’ wings. Varroa mites were accidentally brought here in 1987 from Asiatic bees and have spread to most of the world. Although the problem of colony collapse is still very serious, the problem may be abating somewhat. According to a report from the US Department of Agriculture, in April 2017 the number of commercial U.S. bee colonies had risen by 3 percent (to 2.89 million) compared with 2016, while the number of hives lost to colony collapse disorder was down by 27 percent from a year earlier.

Gallery 224 at the Ceramics Program, Office for the Arts at Harvard is pleased to present an exhibition of work from Montana-based potter Julia Galloway's most recent body of work, The Endangered Species Project: New England. Galloway works from each state's official list of species identified as endangered, threatened or extinct. She has created a series of covered jars, one urn for each species, illustrating the smallest Agassiz Clam Shrimp to the largest Eastern Elk.

The other patch - Conducent Emergenza Santtaria
Co.ES Italia is a National Association of Ambulance Drivers and Professional Driver Helpers (public and private employees), it was established in 1997 with the aim of promoting the professionalism of this figure through training and recognition of the professional profile of Driver Rescuer, to the benefit of safety and quality of services provided to citizens-users.
It seems a very different set up to the UK Ambulance Service.

A group of girls from North Liverpool Academy (NLA) created the patches above. They spent a long time discussing, planning, designing and making their patches with the help of their supportive teacher. They were concerned about a number of issues that they would like to change about the world they live in:
•animal cruelty
•racism
•loss of community
They would love to see people have a deeper:
•desire for peace
•love and concern for each other

For the funky mummy! Pumpkin Patch dark blue jeans from Australia, $20 excluding postage. Size XS. Fits local size S (I am M-sized and found it a little tight around the hip area). Waist 15.5” flat across. No zips, no drawstrings, just a stretchy fold-over waistband. Original price about Aus$80. Very lightly worn.
After running over a nail, I tried patching my innertube, but the patch wouldn't hold. I tried patching the patch, but it blew too. So finally I just replaced the whole damn tube.

After digging out and removing a lot of weeds , I found an old veg patch. Putting in new soil and compost, we put some Beetroot seeds in and they are really coming along.
I have plans for this area of the garden - watch this space.

A fall color pic for the last day of fall
Aspen patches with a few intermixed evergreens contrast with an otherwise barren looking landscape in the high foothills near Virginia Lakes and Conway Summit just north of Mono Lake.
