I missed it?!?!

my Libbs Elliott quilt top

 OMG I missed the whole month of September well at least when it comes to blogging. It by no means I missed the month and was hold up in a closet somewhere. It has been a very busy month. Guild started, I took part in a workshop with a guest teacher, I continue to finish quilts and UFO and I have been working in the yard getting things put away and ready for winter. Well now I know where the month went!!

Last weekend we had a trunk show presented by Libbs Elliott. The following day she was our guest teacher and we worked away on one of her patterns called La Fin du Monde. I chose to make the small version and this weekend I am making heart blocks to add to the top and bottom to make it a little longer.

I have been machine quilting a quilt since last week although I haven't touched it in 4 or 5 days. Just too many things happening in my little world.

All this preparation is so I can relax later in October while I am attending 2 retreats. By the time I get home from one and prep for the second one(that one is at my house)....there might be snow on the ground. Although we are having a wonderful warm Fall. Cool mornings but today I have the windows all open and am enjoying the gentle breeze and fresh air. I also took time with a coffee to check in on my friend Kathy and see what all the

slow stitchers are doing. 

My quilting frame is becoming my waiting line for the next project. Hopefully soon there will be a quilt on that frame for the winter. The orange book is our local fair book and that quilt might become an entry for next year. I have to keep them out where I can see them so I will work on them. The various boxes underneath are projects cut and ready for retreat already. Can you tell I am looking forward to seeing all my quilty friends!

Enjoy the week ahead and whatever you are choosing to work on.
