"Fall"ing Behind

 Seems just when I think I am getting things under control and getting into a routine...life comes along and turns things upside down. Things are always coming up after the passing of a loved one. Things you forget about that suddenly need tending to. Seasons are changing and with that yard work has to be done, gardens cleaned out and house and yard readied for the winter. I have read that the snow may come early and stay so doing all this sooner than later has got to get done!

Wild Women Weekend

bleeding and not sure how

needs one more outer border

I was away for a weekend with some friends and we got in lots of visiting and some sewing. The weekend was far too short, we need to plan for a longer visit next time. I gifted them each with a lap quilt that looked like a spool of thread. Well it was the top and they have to finish them for our next time together! I also started working on quilt for another little person in my life and I worked on it yesterday and got to the last border. Today I will put the last border on and sew up the backing and maybe get to basting it for machine quilting. While working on the quilt yesterday all of a sudden there was blood. I was bleeding and not sure why or how...think I nicked myself with the cutter, never felt it. Got to love those sharp blades!

Today is slow stitching Sunday and my slow stitching will happen later this afternoon. While checking in with Kathy this week, I see she has received the quilt I finished for her. The top was sewn by Kathy and she adopted it out(she wasn't in love with it). I told her I would finish it and she would love it!!You can read about it here and here! (you can also see what Kathy is doing today!)

Have a wonderful week leading up to Canadian Thanksgiving weekend!
