And here we go into another week.
We’ve been having lovely cool and sunny fall weather, but things are, again, very dry here. Please send rain, but don’t jinx us with a hurricane.
I’ve been busy. The design wall is FULL of interesting projects, but I’ll send pics of it later this week. I want to finish a few blocks first before taking pictures.
Rachel LaBour has finished her “Under the Maple Tree” quilt and will start a sew-along October 6th.
Yes, I bought this adorable pattern–which she will sew again in fall colors in the sew-along. Her recent posts on this quilt have shown many different ways to think about color for this quilt. And, yes, I love this Tilda Soft Teal background version and have ordered that fabric AND the Free Spirit “Spark Gold” Rachel uses for the non-leaf blocks. It is a bit harder to find, and I’m thinking the Kona Grellow would be a suitable substitute.
This little scrappy log cabin came off the design wall and will get its binding installed today. It is 42-inches square.
I love the quilting texture from the pantograph “Kindling,” which I used for the first time on this quilt. This one will be a donation quilt for the baby category of donation quilts and will go to Patchwork Gals as they have several craft fairs coming up to raise money for their donation projects.
One of my neighbors is so talented. She makes these clam-shell creations, and she gifted me with this one.
Decoupage is involved. Her front door has a wreath made from shells like this one, but she uses all kinds of patterns, not just this one. Her Christmas patterns are also very nice. I think, and other neighbors think, she has a business opportunity in the craft fairs with this idea.
“Oh! Wow!”–the 2nd Stacks quilt from a Tara Faughnan pattern in the first season of The Color Collective (2019) is quilted and bound. Pics coming soon. But look at this marvelous texture:
Now, on to the rest of this day.
