Enjoy the pictures that inspire Bonnie's fabric color selection. This week continues with use if the easy angle ruler and the companion ruler. We continue with the gray that is constant thru the quilt and now get to use our reds. So I got to pair the Reds with some of the neutrals. 4 blocks must be the same, pinning them together for a future clue. Managed to get 10 sets of 4 blocks with 10 remaining to do tomorrow. Very much like the red, neutral and gray colors together. We are also cutting some gray and black blocks. Will be interesting when the gold comes in to play with this design.

This week got to use some of the lovely red fabric for this mystery. (Allietare)   Red is Cherith's favorite color. Hopping this quilt has a lot of it. So far I am liking the color and fabric choices. A few reds are from my Downton Abbey English Manor quilt..so tone completely finished. Of course there is some WisconsinBadgers, but no Packers as green was not a color. Maybe in will sneak a bit for the back. Speaking of Packers...not doing so well. Last night they won with a Hail Mary pass with no time on the clock due to a defensive penalty. Richard Rodgers caught the ball in the end zone for a winning touchdown. Pretty exciting, since they played terrible and we're about to loose the game to the Lions.

Got 10 of the 20 sets done. Will finish this weekend.

Auditioning the neutrals

Play nice together

Love this picture from Bonnie Hunter and her trip to Italy. Would love a red bush like this sometime.

We continue to look for our dream log cabin home up north. Saw two homes, but not real thrilled in them. Then this evening found one we both like so may look at that one next week. It would be an even trade from our present home. It also may mean if we out an offer in that we would have to try to sell the home while down in Arizona. We see how it all works out. Next week getting my first crown and a hair cut...want to grow it out a bit.

Beautiful sunny day today. In the mid 40's, so will go for a walk soon.

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?

Packer Game-Lambau Field ( going to new heights)

Last evening we went to Packer Tailgate at Farve Steakhouse and watched a preseason football game (Packers and Eagles). This time we were able to sit with family. We got seat up on the Shopko gate side and sat way up near the new scoreboard. We were on the seventh floor looking down. Great perspective of the whole field and patrons. Had chairs and cup holders. Was a fun evening even though the defense did not play well. Young quarterbacks did play well.
