Peanuts stamp alert - Sept 30 might be the date of issue.
There is a word for designs that radiate from a center point. Maybe it's radial? Or maybe it is something else. Nanski-Drewski's name works so nicely since both names are the same length. Love that coffee stamp.

Before posting my latest public service announcement, I did a search for *public service* on my blog to review how many of them there have been: falling down, chiggers, online portals for your medical issues, exploding Pyrex, managing life as we age - and maybe a couple that I have forgotten.
I surf through Pinterest once in a while, looking for the ideas for that quilt I need to make because my mom started saving a few scraps of fabric in the 50s - and the collection grew - and with the lingering covid + the m-pox - stitching scraps seems like a useful activity.
So, I clicked on one pattern, that led to a woman who has been blogging about quilts since 2005. Her current post alluded to the progress being made after some kind of incident. So I scrolled back and found her story - and it seems like an opportunity for a public service announcement.
From Bonnie Hunter:
Last evening The Hubster and I were enjoying the bench swing that hangs between the two huge chestnut trees in the side yard at Quiltville Inn while waiting for the fire pit to get going.
The swing hung from a huge lodge pole. There was a crack and a crash and we were on the ground.
My left leg had been bent at the knee positioning my foot under the swing as we came down.
The falling pole hit the bridge of my nose.
Both the left ankle and nasal bone are fractured and the little town of Jefferson NC doesn't have an orthopedics guy so they sent me home with a plaster splint and meds.
I'll contact the ortho guy in Galax tomorrow and hope he can get me in.
I'd say this looks worse than it feels but that would be a lie.
I won't repost the picture she posted of her injuries.
If you are a quilter - you might be interested in her blog.
On Thursday - I will jabber more about the inn she runs - in Mouth of Wilson, VA.
