Allietare inspiration....wild and goosey

The days are passing and soon the mystery will begin. Someone gave me the idea of doing the wild and Goosey blocks in same colors as the mystery. I had some swatches that had the colors an some scraps so worked on these yesterday. So cute...maybe a pillow?


Evenings I continue working on my English Manor Carson Theme quilt. It is on the last side border and then I have a small border to do. I found the perfect fabric for the prairie points, but had to order it on line. 




Then another wonderful surprise, the book from Ebony with the picture of my quilts. The front and back of the large one and the miniature quilt. 








Then doing some wild and Goosey blocks in the upcoming mystery colors....so fun.





Gypsy queen. Is coming to an end...here is last clue before assembly of all the pieces next week.


Is this the layout????

Team Carson quilt meets another mini milestone.

Now that the weather is cooler, except for today....upper 70's and windy, it is time to spend some serious time quilting this quilt. I would love to have it done prior to leaving for Arizona in late January. Today finished the flying geese blocks. I loved this quilting on another quilt. Now starting on the checkerboard side of the quilt. Plan on some very basic straight line quilting. I will try to work on a block or two every evening. There are 16 total blocks to do. Maybe done by the end of the month. This will allow some sewing machine quilting during the day. I still would like to do folded prairie points on this quilt.



I am in the middle of two quilt alongs....Ten Commandments and Gypsy Queen, both using tow color themes. These will finish up around thanksgiving or so. Then plan on doing Bonnie Hunters mystery in November. I will also do Ebony Love's mystery Dear Laura in January. I however will do this one in red and white as a graduation present for daughter Cherith. Will start it, but then travels to AZ and possibly selling home in May, Hannah's graduation and her move may put this on hold for a bit. Not gong to take sewing machine to AZ. Although could buy one down there.

Packers remain unbeaten. 4-0...maybe this is their year.

Weekend review...

We always enjoy ribs from the Market in Lake Mills. This is probably the last of the year so bought two racks. They are always so good.

Then we were off to see our niece's soccer game against Maranatha. She is captain. It was a cold windy day..isn't always for soccer games. They all played so hard but lost the match.


Quilting projects....

Found out that one color scheme blocks from week 2 were sewn incorrectly so had to do some reverse sewing. Luckily we had only sewn two to this week's clue before it was caught.


An ongoing project of de-bone-ing of my scrubs. They are cotton and cute future fabrics for a quilt(s).

Returned to English Manor quilt from Ebony now that it is cooler. Actually felt good to have a warm quilt on my lap. Of course I have a helper that usually is on my lap but had to settle for another section. Nice to revisit this quilt.






I also finished quilting and washing my Autumn Country Roads.



Then watching the Packers..another great win. Is this the year?
