Fall has arrived!

Although it isn't officially fall till tomorrow, I do believe it has arrived and is staying! It is a very damp and dreary day outside which makes it a good day to be inside sewing and slow stitching with Kathy. I might take a page from her blog and start a new project today. I have a blue work embroidery project that I would like to do that is then surrounded by quilt blocks. That might be what I start!
It has been a productive week and weekend for me. I have finished a small baby quilt for the hospital, a puppy quilt which is in Belle's cage,single bed quilt is ready for gifting and some blocks for the Marcus challenge. And yesterday I made a batch of mincemeat with all the green tomatoes I have, that made the house smell heavenly all day!

With all my recent finishes, I won a draw and  was gifted a 8 pack of fat quarters from one guild for finishing a project  over the summer. My week has also been busy with the new puppy Belle. She is growing like crazy...17 lbs already.

  2. Belle is adorable. Just like having a baby though. I hope she learns to sleep all night soon. You have some really pretty finishes. I am looking forward to seeing your bluework.

  6. It sounds like you've been busy. I don't think I'd get anything done with a cute distraction like Belle hanging around!
