And on the 4th Day of Autumn

-
It's feeling more Fall-like.. More Oregonish! I like the rain and the clouds and a little splash of sunshine.

Met with some friends yesterday and stitched for several hours. It's amazing how much you can get accomplished when you are working and talking and hopefully listening.

On to the next verse of our 12 Days of Autumn Song

 On the forth day of Autumn My true love gave to me…
Four Halloween Oreos
Three caramel apples
Two Candy corn
An Acorn from an old oak tree      

Now, I need to tell you that it took a long time to come up with these really awesome lyrics so I hope you appreciate all the work I did!!! Stayed tuned for Day 5....it just gets better.

There were so many styles of quilts and so much talent. We should be proud to have such a good showing in Portland.

Here are a few things that I've been working on.


Because Susan made one, I needed to make one also. Ready for stitching.


From our Paper Mache Box class....Some still need more work.


Because Judy made one I needed to and as of today the binding is finished!


Almost finished...I got distracted by another one that Susan did and am almost finished with that one.

Wisdom Words for today

Anyone can carry his burden, however hard, until nightfall. Anyone can do his work, however hard, for one day. Anyone can live sweetly, patiently, lovingly, purely, till the sun goes down. And this is all life really means. ~Robert Louis Stevenson


If you don't like how things are, change it! You're not a tree. ~Jim Rohn

It was a good thing that my open studio was scheduled for the day it was because I just barely escaped the snow! It was a fun day and many friends stopped by to see where I love to sew. A friend who I hadn't seen in years, Joy, came and I was so happy to see her again. When I owned The Quilting B, the best thing about being there was all the new friends I made. I probably would never met many of you if it hadn't been for those years! Thanks! Here are a few of the pictures from that day. Ellen came with her project and it is beautiful! My neighbor, Monica is helping me have a great time! Along with the stitching, it is a time to make more friends and to know each other a little better. Our dog, Oscar, loves to be with people.

It was held at Pioneer Courthouse Square and was beautiful. Listening to that many tubas outside was wonderful. It was a little misty and a bit cold but all crowded together, it wasn't bad. I love the old courthouse. Tried to get the flag billowing out, almost. It is such a beautiful old building. We don't have many buildings like this, we tear them down and make something new. nice tree...great back view of someones head! After watching for a while we went to.... Besides the greatest smelling cigars, they sell their wonderful cigar boxes. I was looking for a perfect one to give my daughter with a scarf that I knitted for her. Of course, I found one and sorry I didn't take a picture of it. It is black and just perfect for her. Score!  A little l...
