Good morning...
It's about 8:30 AM in Georgia, USA. I'm in a suburb of Atlanta. It's a bright sunny morning we've warmed up to a crisp 50 degrees after being in the mid 30's last night :) Like the umbrella block... we could have used some good umbrellas during the last typhoon like rains that we've had come through.

Congratulations...

I'm from Alberta Canada. Our weather has been really warm and sunny for this time of year.
We need rain in the province, though. Especially in the north where there is a terrible fire which has caused the evacuation of over 80,000 people. Many more are still trapped further north.

I live in Texas Hill Country. We have had some heavy rains, which are much needed. But not the problems Houston has. Love your block.

patsystitch@gvtc.com

Love the block! It's whimsical and can be used in lots of ways. So fun but then I like the rain so naturally I like umbrellas.

After this little spell it will get hot until about September with days close to 100.
Have a great day!

We live in Wisconsin and thank goodness the sun if finally shinning today and after weeks of weather in the 40's it might get up to 75 today.
Thanks for the chance to win. Glad your umbrella isn't paper pieced.

Hi I'm for Alberta Canada where I am I it is sunny and cool but will warm up today. There are no wildfires like to the north of us but we are as dry as they are and I pray for all the communities that are losing their homes to fire. It was bad enough here with the lack of jobs available) my hubby being one of them) at least my house isn't burning down. and I have great quilt blocks to look at for now. God has Blessed me.

Sorry it rained on you when you were in Houston, but it was probably cooler with the rain that it would be without it. Yes, even in October! Glad you're getting rain in CA. You definitely need it more than us at the moment! Back to why we're really here - CONGRATULATIONS! The cover? That's awesome! This is a unique block but easy to tell what it is at a glance - perfect cover material!

I am from Vermont, and for a change it is not raining right now! - a nice spring day with just a few clouds.

Here in the Chicago area today it is mostly sunny and supposed to get to 80 degrees. Tomorrow it will be back in the low 60's--up, down, sun, rain, it's been a wacky spring. I don't have an umbrella usually (though I'd love a red and white striped one!), so almost all my coats and jackets have hoods.

Hi Kelli,

I'm in New Jersey. . . .and we are in our 7th (I think) day of rain. . .so I could really use a big umbrella!! LOL

They are saying that it might clear up by Sunday. . . which would be good. Hubby, the dogs, and I are all going a bit stir crazy from having only gray skies to look at.

Congratulations on being a cover girl!

I'm a Southern Californian who has been living in the rainy Pacific Northwest for a dozen years. It's so funny, because up here no one uses an umbrella. We just get very wet. I'm happy to say that today the sun is shining--and now I am like the rest of the Oregonians and I'm treating it like a holiday: The Return of the Sun!

Here in Southern California and it's actually cloudy and threatening to rain this afternoon!

But your block is so pretty and one that I should make to enjoy where I live and still keep dry. Thank you so much for sharing your talent.

Greetings from Mesa, Arizona where it is 80F in the shade today. Just 2 days ago it was 102F in the sun. Time to head north for home; my other home that is. Very nice block. Just last week, I overheard one little boy complaining to his mother as they were coming into the store about it raining. I reached out a hand and felt a drop, waited, waited, not yet, and then another drop. Yup he was right.
