It is fall, Right? !!

The weather has been so great. I know the cold is coming, but what a way to celebrate October. This is my favorite time of year and I am enjoying the cool evenings and the sunny days.

The 4th Sunday in September we had some great projects being worked on in the studio.


Here is Henny Penny!





A handsome turkey in the making.


So cute!

There is another Open Studio class this coming Sunday October 26. You are invited to join us from 11-4 with lunch included.



Isn't this lovely....even if it isn't right side up!



A little later Mr. Turkey had grown feathers.


Turkey's seem to be in season.

My long time friends Karen and Gloria and I went to the quilt show in Aurora. It was a beautiful day and here are a few things we saw.




This was made by our own Julie Altman. I hope she won a ribbon....we voted for her!

BLOCK OF THE MONTH

The BOM is ready to go. The first two blocks are all kitted up and ready for you to start. For $32.00 you receive the first two blocks and two balls of Perle Cotton to stitch with. The next two blocks will be ready by this coming Sunday and these and the rest of the months will be $22.00 until we get to the border.

Let me know if you'd like to start.

I'm sooo bummed. I took really great pictures of the classes this last weekend and when I downloaded them...they all disappeared. I don't know where they went. I apologize to all of you. Maybe you can bring your project again and I'll try to do better.

Camping in the Rain

 Hello Everyone,  We went camping at Barview Jetty a little while ago and it rained almost all the time we were there! On the way it was necessary to stop here at our favorite fish shop! Best shrimp, sauce, and clam chowder that we have found.  Excellent. We went there on the way to camp and on the way home. Even thought it rained so much, the clouds were spectacular. The sand had some cool patterns We had friends that camped next to us and we ate really well.  Some reading and stitching were also part of our days. A couple weeks ago we went to McIver park to camp. Again it rained almost the whole time we were there. Same friends kept us entertained and we continued with our eating really well. This is a reflection in the lake of the sun trying to come out. Mamma ducks and babies were enjoying the break in the rain. We have found out that our beloved Oscar has Prostate cancer and Cushings disease. It's a sad blow as we lost both our Silkies last year. We don't know how long we

 I decided it was time to bring my blog back to life. I thought about it for some time and decided it would be so nice to connect with friends again even if it's just with words. I have mostly enjoyed being at home and catching up with reading and sewing. My Etsy shop is doing well and I would like to share some of the things that are currently available.                                        I bought this tin in The Netherlands when I was recently there visiting my daughter and her family. They took me to a very cool old antique shop and they have Lots of tins. The shop had so many things that I would have liked to take home. But Not possible. This is another one! It's been fun finding things to put in the sewing boxes. They are listed in my Etsy shop thequiltingbshop.Etsy.com There are lots of size 12 Valdani Thread available too. A few of the ones that I just listed I brought home some beautiful French floss that is paired up with some wool squares and some that are listed
