Happy Sunday!



I have been thinking about my box of tiny nine patches for a long time.  I at last grabbed them up and started sewing.  Here is where I am with my design.  ON point!!!  Hurrah!




I am hand binding this quilt for my darling DIL Lara for Christmas.  She does not read the blog, so our secret is safe here.  This was quilted by Paula, my quilting partner.  She is retired and has a longarm!




Fall has arrived, with the arrival of tiny fall pumpkins at the grocery store.  I love them!




Some zinnias popped up volunteer, from seeds planted in the spring.  I love their cheerful colors, but the wind was blowing...that is OK.  I can still see and appreciate the colors.


Lookee!!  I do not know what this is...a plant from Home depot, on sale.  It is blooming!!!

Rainbow quilt progress! And other fun stuff!



Good day to all!!  I am so lucky to have such good kitty help with my quilts.  Above is LUCKY the kitty.  He is inspecting seams and color combinations.  And enjoying the warmth of the quilt blocks from the iron.

I am glad to put the quilt together this way...I was planning a whole different border, but this one is so much better.


These blocks are the centers of spools blocks.  Great fun to make.  I have all the blocks cut out...just need sewing time.




It must be autumn?  Still pretty warm though!!  I love that pumpkin color, though, don't you?




I made a couple more leader and ender blocks.  These blocks are brighter than they look.  This is Bonnie Hunter's leader and ender project for the year.  I have lots cut out!


Alice in Wonderland blocks!  These are English paper pieced. 


This block is also English Paper pieced.  Fun!!!


I hope each of you is doing well!!
